HOW TASTE & DESIGN STARTED
Shaun and Anna met over four years ago while working together in the hospitality industry, each bringing over a decade of experience in different areas centered around food. We quickly realized how well our strengths complemented each other and shared a vision: to bring warmth, thoughtful details, and genuine hospitality back to the guest experience. What started as a shared idea between two colleagues grew into a company dedicated to creating not just amazing dishes, but memorable, meaningful experiences.
