Food Styling is not about Elmer’s Glue and Motor Oil.
It’s about knowing how food moves, melts, steams, wilts, and drips — and making it look incredible on camera without faking the magic. It’s equal parts technical skill, creative instinct, and knowing how to work a set.
I trained in professional kitchens and spent the last two decades solving problems under pressure — both behind the stove and behind the scenes. I’ve styled for everything from high-end commercial shoots to scrappy social campaigns. The common thread? I show up ready, stay calm, and get the job done.
Trust isn’t assumed — it’s earned, shoot by shoot. I work fast, adapt on the fly, and try to make the day easier (and more fun) for everyone on set.
If you're great at what you do and want a collaborator who makes your life easier, let’s get together and shoot some food.
Based in Denver. Happy to travel.

These shoots are often for packaging, advertising, or national campaigns — places where the image has to be perfect. I bring a high level of precision to styling, but also an eye for what makes an image feel alive and beautiful.

These shoots move fast and often call for a looser, more lifestyle-driven look. I style with the format and brand tone in mind — whether it’s for tight crops, quick content runs, or online product shots. The goal is food that feels fresh, clear, and on-brand across every frame.

Styling for motion means staying ahead of the shot. I prep food to perform over time — whether it’s a cheese pull, a drip at the right moment, or a bite on camera. I coordinate with the crew to keep an eye on continuity, manage resets, and make sure the food performs take after take.

Many brands — especially CPG — need recipes for a variety of reasons, from added-value content to marketing support. When I develop the recipes I also style, it creates real efficiencies — from sourcing ingredients to knowing exactly how the dish will behave on set. One feeds the other: I write with an eye toward visuals, and I style with a deep understanding of the recipe. It saves time, cuts down on guesswork, and reduces overall production costs.
