Rooted in NYC, formerly planted in New England, and occasionally found digging into new soil. The story has always been learning to grow where you are planted.

My name is Michelle and I love what I do. Pretty simple. I find great joy and purpose in bringing ideas to life, especially ones you can devour! From carefully crafted  desserts to a harmonious service, there's room for inspiration in every detail. Along with technical skills and discipline, I've come to deeply appreciate the special community I've entered. I am blessed to call my industry mentors & colleagues now family. Humility lesson #1 is to acknowledge there's nothing greater than teamwork. This is why I'd rather share my love for what I do over elaborating my resume in story-form (besides, you can scroll down for that). Thank you to everyone who's walked with me, and hello to any new sojourners. Welcome to the beautiful chaos, my name is Michelle Chen.
