Hospitality Advisor

I notice how things feel.

I help hospitality concepts see themselves through the guest’s eyes - looking at how design, service, food, wine, sound, language, culture and all the small details come together to create an experience.

Soft heart. Sharp eye.

Empathy for the person inside the experience. Discernment about what belongs, what distracts, and what might be made better.
