the story
It started with an existential crisis.
In 2024 I landed my dream job at Google and, vexingly, I had never felt more lost. There was a sudden disillusionment that came with achieving a dream — and realizing I still wanted more.
After months of introspection and a re-audit of my values, I decided my life is too short and singular to settle for the achievement of just one dream. It was time to pursue a new one!
The following autumn, I decide to follow my longstanding passion for baking and I signed up for pastry school at the Institute of Culinary Education. I turned my 5-day work week into a 7-day one in service of turning my hobby into a professional craft.
I quickly fell in love with the kitchen; the discipline, rituals, meditative repetition in service of meticulously beautiful, delicious, delightful outputs.
Forum is my living love letter to baking and celebration. Thanks for stopping by! Let’s make something special together!
