Food Stylist & private chef
Seasonal Food, Made Beautiful
Meet Cynthia
I’m Cynthia — creating work rooted in seasonality, artistry, and connection.
After more than twenty years in the culinary and editorial worlds — collaborating with brands, designers, photographers, and creative teams — my work exists across editorial, brand collaborations, and select experiences — where food, atmosphere, and visual storytelling come together to create something both elevated and deeply felt.
Over the years, I’ve styled for brands including Le Creuset, Food & Wine, Southern Living, and Netflix — experiences that shaped my eye for clean lines, natural beauty, and minimal but meaningful details.
My work is guided by a single principle; to make everyday moments around food feel considered and nourishing.
Based in Charleston, and working with clients worldwide.
