food videos

I have proudly worked on food content for 6 years starting primarily with Yummy.ph and then onto other editorial brands such as Esquire Philippines, and Spot.ph. It has been a “yummy” adventure. Working on food content was where I learned the basics of how to produce, direct, shoot, and edit digital content. I owe a lot to these hands-and-pans recipe videos. To grow from these to telling unique food stories of different Filipinos, to now working with different celebrities, food videos will always have a special place in my heart. Here are some of my favorite projects:

Editorial Videos

Editorial videos are some of my favorite videos because they allow me to get out of the kitchen studio and tell the stories of some of the most fascinating and brilliant people in the food industry. Going on food tours are incredible fun, too.
