Hello From Your Food Stylist & Recipe Developer

San Francisco-based food stylist specializing in commercial & editorial food styling

Are you ready to take your culinary game to the next level? Let's start to bring new ideas to the table together. 

With over a decade of expertise and a degree in Cinema Studies, I bring a unique fusion of flavors and visual storytelling to every creation.

Originally from Rome, Italy, I've spent over a decade living with my husband in the USA, immersing myself in diverse culinary traditions. My love for art, the gym, and the boundless possibilities of AI have fueled my passion for creating innovative recipes that seamlessly blend tradition and creativity. 

Explore my portfolio and witness how my unwavering work ethic, both in front of the camera and behind the scenes, results in stunning visuals that excite the senses and showcase the artistry of cuisine.  

As a food stylist, my primary goal is to make food appear visually appealing, appetizing, and enticing to the audience. This involves a combination of culinary skills, artistic flair, and a keen understanding of how different foods behave under various conditions. For me, presentation is one of the most important step in the journey of taste, complemented by quality and balance ingredients in each recipe. 

As a recipe developer, I've studied food science for years, understanding the impact of food on our lives. I custom craft new recipes with creative, engaging titles for your clients, meticulously considering costs, yield, serving sizes, nutrient analysis, and preparation times.
