I am a PNW native originally from Portland, now based in the greater Seattle area. I love my dog Bean who joins me on city explorations and cozy days at home. I am always looking for a new hobby to add to my arsenal and I love working with other creatives! My background is in bartending, bar management and beverage direction: I’ve built seasonal and themed programs for a full-service bar, designing menus with 20+ cocktails for pop-ups and events.

Cooking, hosting, and whimsy have been my throughline since childhood tea parties and extravagent family dinners with my sister; those early parties grew into a lifelong love of food, drink, and the joy of bringing people together. I channel that spirit into playful, meticulously crafted menus and events where every cocktail tells a story.

I started Proof & Purpose to spread the simple magic of a perfectly made drink! Whether among longtime friends or brand-new faces. Let’s create something deliciously unique together.
