  • A portfolio that demonstrates your ability to style food beautifully and thoughtfully—especially for buffets and passed hors d’oeuvres.
  • Background in catering, food photography, hospitality, or production styling is preferred.
  • Proficiency in design tools such as Adobe Creative Suite or Canva; familiarity with web platforms like WordPress or Squarespace is a plus.
  • Strong sense of aesthetics and a passion for presentation and detail.
  • Ability to work both independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced, event-driven environment.
