My plating ideas are inspired by balance—between colors, textures, and negative space. I often draw from nature, architecture, and fine art to create plates that feel organic yet intentional. For example, a seafood dish might be plated with fluid, wave-like swooshes of sauce to mimic the ocean, while a dessert could be presented with geometric precision inspired by modern art. Contrast is key—crisp elements next to smooth purées, bright garnishes against deep tones, and height variation for dimension.
