Behind the Camera
A one-woman production.
Table for Two started as an idea in my notes app. I built every part of it myself, from the first post to the first brand deal.
I've been on the other side of the screen my whole life, so I know the exact moment someone decides to swipe. My job is making sure they don't.
Beyond the Screen
Bringing people together, in real life.
Through brand collaborations and in-person events, Table for Two moved off the feed and into real rooms full of real people.

Building Table for Two taught me that the best ideas don't add more, they take something away. Remove the noise, and people show up as themselves. That's the kind of story I want to keep telling.
