For the past decade, I’ve been dedicated to creating memorable moments for groups, whether they’re familiar faces or strangers meeting for the first time. I have a deep passion for using food and music as powerful connectors, weaving them into transformational experiences that tap into emotional intelligence.

​

I’m the co-founder of La Barca and Dinner Connections, where I focus on designing immersive, connection-driven events. I also spent two years as the experience designer and culinary creative lead at Atelier Culinario, a Berlin-based space renowned for its sensory dinners and team-building experiences. In these roles, I’ve developed a unique approach to experience design, blending storytelling, hospitality, and intentional moments to spark connection and transformation.

​

My work bridges the corporate and cultural worlds, with clients including the BMW Foundation, Deloitte, UBS, Netflix, IKEA Stiftung, or KPMG. Earlier in my career, I co-founded Über den Tellerrand e.V., a social initiative that began as an intercultural cooking project and grew into a global movement with hubs in over 40 cities. Through this project, I co-authored two cookbooks – Recipes for a Better Us (2015) and A Pinch of Home (2016) – combining traditional recipes with personal stories from chefs with refugee backgrounds. 

​

And when I’m not immersed in menu planning or curating activities, you’ll likely find me playing music on Berlin’s dance floors or hosting events on our floating space, La Barca.

 

I am happy to hear from you and co-create magic!
