I am a professional chef with five years of experience in some of the top restaurants in Austin and Dallas. Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to travel to more than 20 countries, exploring local kitchens and learning from a wide range of culinary traditions. These experiences have shaped my style in a meaningful way: every dish I create reflects a mix of technique, authenticity, and the inspiration I’ve gathered along the way.

For me, food is more than a service — it’s a way to connect people, share stories, and create memorable moments. My goal is always to deliver a meal that feels both personal and thoughtfully crafted, combining the flavors I’ve discovered around the world with the comfort of a home-cooked experience.

For me, cooking is...

Something I never stop thinking about. It's an art form that needs constant practice.

A cooking secret...

What an incredible experience by Chef Joy. From the first proposal she sent, I could see her passion and creativity at work. I was not really sure what to expect, as this was my first time, booking a private chef. Joy was very helpful with understanding the process, asking the right questions to help create the perfect menu I was looking for. Wanted a French dinner menu but also wanted some Italian added as well. She took her creativity and Chef skills and paired the two genres together and made the perfect French/Italian dinner. Every course was unbelievable and detailed, she used ingredients that she created herself to ingredients I would never have thought could pair so well with a dish. Our party ended stuffed and happy. Chef Joy went above and beyond to present what she does best, to make our meal and incredible experience. I highly recommend Chef Joy to anyone wanting an experience to remember and taste buds left happy.
