About The Company
Why was your company started in the first place and what was the motivation?
Restaurant work was too confining, starting my own company was “Removing The Shackles” leaving my mind freedom for creativity.
If you had to describe your business in one word, what would it be and why?
Unexpected. I don’t only cook food I create a dining experience.
Is there a unique story behind your business or business name or logo?
Hahahaha, WELL!! The business was named after myself, then Olivia enlightened me to the factor that nobody knew who I am! Only having fun, I knew this already!
My story behind the business, is a long one. To shorten would not really explain everything, but still here we go. Within my last few months of working in wales, I was full of different emotions. Happy, sad, claustrophobic, power, powerless, loneliness, the individual feelings continue. More to the point these were effecting my work but more importantly my life. So, I made a decision and came home. I started my business to share my food, what I love to cook and to tell story behind my dishes.
Do you have specific guidelines do’s and don’ts about the colors and other elements of brand identity?
Colors are unbelievably important, Likes: Black, White, Silver
I like simplicity but effective, like my cooking.
Everything I do is for a reason, nothing is present for the sake of having it.
Using 5 adjectives or short phrases, describe your brand’s desired look and feel.
Passion, Creativity, Distinction, Clever Cooking, Experiences
What are the strengths of your company?
My determination & passion, these can easily be described as an obsession. I have set my goals extremely high and won’t stop until they have been achieved.
Style of Food?
I want to offer two completely different types of experience. Refined & Unrefined. I want to create something completely abnormal. I find normality boring, I want explosions & fireworks. I want the customer to be craving for more, like it’s an addiction eating my food.
My food by definition is British, with a huge Japanese influence. Although I love Mexican, Spanish, Thai, I will be soon adding more cuisines to my repertoire.
