My Story

I was raised in Ojai, California by a family of artists who encouraged me to cultivate my individual style, and who strengthened my desire to see the world through a unique lens. With an affinity for art and culture, I studied documentary film-making at university with the intent to share real and honest stories of the human experience.

My work in film production eventually lead me to an exciting career producing live events throughout California. Whether planning a gala event for 3,000 guests at the Napa Valley Film Festival or designing luxury weddings in Wine Country, my focus has always been to facilitate moments that allow people to connect with each other in a profound way.

Moving into this new world post-pandemic has made us all realize just how important it is to be with people! Watching my clients lose the ability to celebrate with loved ones was devastating. Once we were able, I began hosting small pop-up outdoor dinners for friends and family. These small gatherings were a chance to flex my creative muscles after two years of restrictions and also just, why not? When I started inviting other guests to join, it quickly became apparent that this was going to become a thing.

SUNSET SUPPER was created from the simple idea that a shared meal is at the core of our existence as humans. A social event where thoughts, experiences and emotions are shared. Eating together confirms our sense of belonging, being part of a community. My goal is to leave guests with a sense of fullness - physically, mentally and spiritually.
