WORK HISTORY
Founder & Chef @Shefdress
Bermuda Dunes, CA, US
As Founder and Chef of Shefdress, I combined 25 years of professional culinary experience with a vision to reimagine what women wear in the kitchen. After decades of working in uniforms designed without women in mind, I set out to create a line of luxury chef wear that blends runway-inspired style, performance, and comfort.At Shefdress, I lead all aspects of the brand, including:Design & Development – Creating chef coats, dresses, pants, and skorts tailored for women, using premium fabrics and functional details.Brand Strategy & Marketing – Driving brand growth through influencer collaborations, media outreach, social campaigns, and targeted industry partnerships.Culinary Insight – Infusing 25 years of chef experience into designs that meet the rigorous demands of professional kitchens while celebrating individuality and confidence.Business Leadership – Overseeing operations, e-commerce, and customer experience to build a brand that empowers women in the culinary industry.Shefdress isn’t just a clothing line—it’s part of a movement. Our mission is to help women chefs look, feel, and perform at their best, whether they’re leading private kitchens, appearing on camera, or creating at the highest levels of hospitality.
