Foods, drinks, and the comfort they bring has fueled a majority of my projects. My work in photography has grown alongside that as a way to share my work with people who aren’t able to taste it.

Contributing to Din Tai Fung’s revamped cocktail menu lead me to collaborating with local coffee shops on their menus. Soon after I started Bahay: a Filipino Pop Up to share the recipes of my own culture. Open On Most Days Coffee is my current project, allowing me to bring people together through something familiar. The meticulous qualities and playful creativeness that comes from preparing dishes and drinks, bleeds into all my other work. I’m confident in that.
