WHO ARE WE?

My history and dedication to food & beverage is a not-so-linear story of a creative freelancer turned sparkling-coffee-startup-founder turned creative-agency-owner. It’s been a wild ride but I wouldn’t have it any other way. 

It all began with an entry level position at a branding agency in Brooklyn, NY. It was me, a soda stream, a brick of Bustelo coffee, and a bag of tangerines 🍊. That random assortment of grocery items changed my life forever, as it was the beginning of my first startup: Keepers.

We had little to no experience in the CPG world. We were good at branding, and we were experts in unapologetically asking for help. With those two guiding premises we scaled our product into 50+ Whole Foods and local NY grocery stores, and eventually, we’d be featured in Bon Appetit, Martha Stewart, CNN, and the Washington Post. 

That stuff, although exciting and cool, doesn't really matter to me. The real value I found in that experience was the relationships built within the food world. I'm happy to have met wonderful founders, VCs, co-packers, and restaurateurs that have moved me into the direction we're headed now as a company. A diverse, multi-functional, creative ecosystem dedicated to the betterment of food media.

The Garnish Way

Start with Why

Great creative starts with understanding. Before cameras roll or concepts are explored, we take the time to understand your business, your audience, and your goals. We ask questions, challenge assumptions, and uncover the insights that lead to stronger work. Because when the strategy is clear, every creative decision becomes more effective.

Treating Your Brand Like Our Own

We care deeply about the details. From planning and production to post-production and delivery, we approach every project with thoughtfulness, transparency, and accountability. We don't settle for the easiest solution—we pursue the best one. Our clients trust us because they know we're invested for the long haul. Many of our relationships span years, not projects. That's because we believe the best work is built on partnership.

Chase the Idea

Technology changes. Trends change. Great ideas endure. In an increasingly automated world, creativity remains one of the most valuable advantages a brand can have. We combine strategy, craftsmanship, and intuition to create work that resonates with the human spirit.
