Founder of Mise
Mission: save and build kitchens that give people great experiences — and let them build memories around good food.

15 years in F&B. Trained under Alain Ducasse in Paris, Bo Innovation in Hong Kong, and Amanpulo in Palawan. Then I came home and started building kitchens here — as the chef, the operator, the owner, and the consultant. Mise is the next chapter — a firm instead of just me with a notepad.
