"Food is story." Loved being on CBS sharing the heart behind @FoodRootsFilm — and how that journey through culture, family, and heritage helped inspire the dishes, design, and details behind @SundaNewAsian.

70,000+ Capiz shells indigenous to the 7641 Islands of the Philippines where my family is from form an angelic halo of traditional Filipino craftsmanship and island culture — bringing warmth, texture, and a sense of deep heritage and love into our new home of Sunda Detroit

Building our Creative Marketing Agency, COACT, has been one of the most meaningful chapters of my career — not just because of what we do, but because of who we do it with. I’m incredibly proud of our team and grateful for the partners who trust us to act as an extension of theirs. @CoactAgency was built for speed, scale, and results — bringing insight, ideas, and execution together without the excess. From first concept to final launch, we focus on turning opportunity into real impact. None of this happens alone. It happens through collaboration, trust, and teams that genuinely care about the work. → Connect with COACT and let’s build what’s next. CoactAgency.com
