About Maud

At the intersection of culinary, design, and culture, I support F&B brands in creating concepts, content, and experiences that resonate with today's expectations.

My background combines design (Central Saint Martins, Falmouth University, SPD Milan) with over ten years of hands-on culinary experience, notably through my creative catering studio Salty Studio in London. This dual approach allows me to navigate between strategic thinking and concrete implementation, with a particular focus on ingredients, techniques, and culinary narratives.

Today, I work as a strategy, innovation, and brand consultant, collaborating with startups and established brands on topics such as concept development, brand storytelling, content (recipes, social, paid), partnerships, and trend research. My work is based on an understanding of cultural dynamics and developments in the F&B sector.

I am particularly interested in how brands can translate ingredients, know-how, and culinary cultures into memorable, contemporary, and relevant experiences.
