With over 25 years of experience in hospitality, I offer creative consultancy for cafés, bakeries, restaurants and hospitality spaces wanting to refine their food, presentation, systems and customer experience.
My hospitality career began at 14 and has included work across cafés, restaurants, bars and hotels both in New Zealand and overseas. Alongside this, I built and ran Tomboy — a well-known Wellington café recognised for its food, atmosphere and visual identity.
My approach combines practical hospitality knowledge with strong creative direction, helping businesses create spaces and experiences that feel thoughtful, cohesive and commercially sustainable.
Areas I can assist with include:
— Food and cabinet development
— Bakery and café systems
— Recipe development and testing
— Food styling and visual merchandising
— Customer experience and service flow
— Hospitality branding and atmosphere
— Menu refinement
— Team workflow and presentation standards
— Creative direction for hospitality projects
Available for one-off consultations, ongoing project work, remote sessions or in-person visits throughout New Zealand.
