I have a true passion and undying love for gastronomy.
I'm a founder of CulinaryCulture, a site devoted to serious and aspiring foodies. I dabble in custom architectural and interior design from time to time. I have a couple of other exciting projects in the works, so stay tuned!

I'm also married to a rather interesting man, who has started companies like Threadless.com.
