He believes that food and drink are shared languages, and his work reflects a global appreciation for connection through taste.A British expat based in Singapore, he enjoys exploring new ideas through writing, whether that's cocktail pairing, sustainability, or big questions about the future. He shares many of these reflections on Medium, following whatever piques his curiosity.When he's not creating, researching, or journaling, you'll find him walking, reflecting, or dreaming up his next curious adventure.
