Growing up in Cambridge, MA, surrounded by its vibrant diversity, I was raised in a Latino household by my grandmother and father. My grandmother, a natural hostess, was always orchestrating lively dinner parties, filling our home with the aroma of delicious meals, music, and the warmth of shared laughter. It was in her kitchen that I learned the powerful connection between food, culture, and family.
As a little girl, I was captivated by art, spending hours sketching and exploring the local art scene. This passion eventually led me to pursue a career in design, where I’ve spent over a decade bringing ideas to life visually. But it wasn’t just art that captured my heart. My love for dining out with friends and family took me on culinary adventures to places like Greco and Krasi. Krasi, in particular, hooked me with its delicious dishes and welcoming atmosphere. It was somewhere new, something different, where diverse individuals came together to share new culinary experiences.
Working at a marketing agency introduced me to the diverse design needs of restaurants, spanning from menus to print and digital materials. It was during this time that my newfound love for Greek cuisine, discovered at Greco & Krasi, truly ignited my passion. Once I realized I could blend my two passions – dining and design – my world felt complete. So, here I am, just a lover of art, food, and good company, bringing my unique blend of creativity and cultural appreciation to everything I do.
But really, I’m just here for the wine.
