🌸🍜 My twist on Sakura Somen (cherry blossom thin noodles). The pink “cream” sauce is made from silken tofu, umeboshi (pickled plums) and benishoga (pickled ginger). The green sauce is a scallion, parsley, and nori blended in olive oil.

Also looking to connect with fellow designers (based anywhere) with experience launching their own print product lines, in particular, who have scaled up from small batch craft to e-commerce.

I’m working on designing a series of cheeky greeting cards that blend 17th century art with contemporary unhinged captions. Think: refined raunch and highbrow heat.

Any recommendations of local Providence-area printers to collaborate with?

🧀 Tarte à la tomate 🍅 I learned this from an online French cooking class during the pandemic when I couldn’t go on my annual work trip to Paris to be with my grad students.

This throwback from 3 years ago is reminding me that I should wear glasses and draw more often
