The Spine of the Brand

Meet Dimple!

I am a Founder, Author, Former Nurse and recently I stepped into a title of my own creation, a Sensory Design Artist. While it isn’t a traditional corporate title, it perfectly captures my dedication to creating thoughtful, sensory supportive environments. I’ve officially traded in long hours working as a nurse in different industries for a career in creative regulation.

I combined my love for art and cake, to help me learn more about my own needs. The Gilded Spoon Shoppe was born as my own atelier and sanctuary to navigate a chaotic world. I realized that the rhythmic strokes in cake design wasn't just about dessert; it helped me create Emotional Architecture.

With 20 years of experience behind me I am able to blend my medical background, business innovation & implementation proficiency and technical skills onto a whole new canvas. It’s taken a very long time to fine tune the chaos in my head but the Rolodex is finally organized and I’m eager to share my passion through my work at The Gilded Spoon Shoppe & Atelier.
