Whether it’s training, a conference, management summit, or community space, many of our in-person gatherings lack purpose and care. As a result, they don’t connect and delight your attendees or yield the results you want.
Bringing people together one table at a time
Strategy, design, and facilitation for leaders and brands seeking to create extraordinary in-person and online gatherings and spaces that taste, look, and feel good.
sample my work
We have lots of opportunities to come together in person and online. But our interactions aren’t always meaningful or satisfying.
And when we gather online, there’s always a screen separating us. It’s the same screen separating you, your team members, and the people that could be your customers. It’s jam-packed with opportunities. But it doesn’t come without a few drawbacks.
While our screens connect us to customers globally, they have removed many of the lovely, sensorial elements that make us feel alive. Warm conversations, firm handshakes, contagious laughter, delicious aromas of coffee or freshly baked croissants, and close human connections help brands and organizations build long-lasting relationships amongst their team members and with their customers.
I have news for you: screens aren’t going anywhere (not anytime soon anyway). Nor is our desire to gather. But I believe that if we want to make our interactions more meaningful or satisfying, we need to design them. We need to design how we come together. My solution is a unique blend of food, design, and facilitation.

Forging relationships through a communal dining experience and…potted herbs
Forget business cards. At the MELT conference, connecting guests took the limelight through a feast of food, flowers, and carefully-designed interactions.
Veronica’s ideas opened us to exploring the possibilities and positive impact that gathering around food could create for our business. Since then, our beautiful, carefully prepared, and thoughtfully shared food has helped our clients build friendships and has made working with us even more enjoyable.
