This site is where I help businesses bring their ideas to life through practical, hands-on product development support — from concept to kitchen-ready recipe.

A clear, collaborative process to turn your pastry or chocolate idea into a market-ready product.

We’ll start with a call to understand your idea, challenges, and goals — whether it’s a new concept or refining an existing product.

Develop
I’ll map out the project scope, then begin hands-on recipe development and testing — with regular updates to keep everything aligned.

Deliver
You’ll receive the final recipe, process notes, and production-ready documentation — plus ongoing support to ensure a smooth launch.
