Design for Chocolate
My interest in the chocolate field started at a very young age.
My father is an artisan chocolatier, which exposed me to many facets of this craft and taught me about taste, texture, and aroma. Spending long hours at the atelier tasting my dad’s new creations and getting my hands dirty experimenting - with some occasional scolding - all contributed to shaping my conceptual development around chocolate.
I recently completed two professional courses at Ecole Valrhona in France expanding my technical skills as a designer working with chocolate. Furthermore I got the opportunity to visit cacao plantations in Ivory Coast which exposed me to the impressive but harsh realities behind the finished product.
My aim is to explore and expose the ethical and social aspects of the chocolate supply chain.
