What is your role in WHIT?
To curate the small appliances in the WHIT Kitchen, each of these appliances represent the future kitchen tools. Each tool represents a trend: Sustainability as in Zero Food Waste, Personalization and Voice Activation.
What inspired you
Seeing how the Food and Technology come together, layering in the challenges that effect home cooks as they want to be more mindful, balance health, and wellbeing when it comes to preparing food for their families on a daily basis. I love watching and seeing how these new tools could help people in the kitchen create home cook meals that can bring the family together. Home cooks want to provide healthy and nutritious foods for their family but it is not always easy, so tools that can help them, and at the same time help them to be more mindful of the environment that they passionately care about.
Why did you choose to work at WHIT?
To be able to partner and work with teams that have such a passion for unlocking future opportunities, and what those ideas could turn into when you think about the Home. I love their approach in using creative brainstorming process that maps the future journey of what can be possible and the ability to bring it to life and showcase it in the WHIT.
What have you learned from your collaboration at WHIT?
I admire the diversity of thought, and the openness to explore what is wellness. How wellness is evolving with new technology and innovation, and what that could be within, and outside the home. For me to be able to apply these concepts to how families and home cooks think about their foods and meals and what are those future possibilities when it comes to the kitchen.
What are you hoping to accomplish over the next year?
I am looking forward to continuing my trendspotting with the focus on the intersection of food, technology, and cooking tools. Being able to identify and add these future forward tools to the WHIT kitchen to help demonstrate the evolution of the future of cooking.
