About

I’ve always been drawn to food as a material and for over fifteen years I’ve been exploring how it can be shaped, structured and pushed beyond what people expect of it.

I’m best known for my architectural gingerbread and I’ve developed a way of working that treats biscuit much like any other building material, thinking carefully about proportion, structure and detail (while still leaving room for play).

My process is hands-on and methodical. Every piece is designed and built entirely by hand, from working out how it will stand, to baking the components, to finishing the smallest details. I enjoy the problem-solving as much as the making, and I care deeply about getting things to feel balanced, considered and right.

At the heart of my work is a belief in wonder. Not the loud, novelty kind, but the quieter moment when something familiar makes you pause and look again. These pieces are edible, temporary and made to be experienced. They are serious in their making, but light in spirit and always rooted in the simple joy of playing with food.

If you’re interested in commissioning a bespoke gingerbread piece, I’d love to hear about your project.
