Was there a turning point that led you to leave your career as an architect to dedicate your life to the kitchen? What advice would you give to someone who wants to do something similar?
In all honesty, my architecture studies were long and hard and I never found the space to be creative or develop my own work style, or the freedom I needed. But it wasn’t until I finished, and while pregnant with my first child, that I stopped to think about what I truly wanted to do. Reflecting on it now, perhaps I could have had that moment sooner, but I needed that strong shift to happen in me for this to come about. So I’m grateful for everything I learned in my studies, despite having changed course completely. The only advice I can give is to trust in life, don’t be afraid, and most of all don’t lose your connection to yourself and your inner voice. Your job needs to fit your life, not the other way around.
