Get to know me better

Seasonal, produce-driven Private Chef with a modern Asian influence and a fine‑dining approach. Able to cater for all occasions.

Chef with Michelin training and a strong foundation in development kitchens, recently working as a Private Chef in high‑end Verbier chalets. My cooking is rooted in seasonal, produce‑led dishes with a modern Asian influence, shaped by years of technical refinement and creative exploration. Semi‑finalist in National Chef of the Year 2024 & 2025, I bring a balance of precision, warmth, and storytelling to every menu.
