Look what your gurl done did!!

Sometimes you just have to put on your Bob the Builder hat.

I had a vision… and then apparently decided I was a carpenter. 😂

For the Tampa's Downtown annual meeting, I designed and built this custom three-panel cookie display completely from scratch!

Three panels.
Custom arches.
Acrylic illuminated centerpiece.
Custom shelving.
And approximately 400 cookies later… here we are. 🙌🏽

Every cookie was individually packaged and branded for their celebration, featuring a variety of Mad Muffin Happy Cupcake flavors.

I may have underestimated just how much space 400 cookies actually takes up. 😂 But seeing the finished display completely filled with cookies made all those trips to the hardware store, measuring, cutting, painting, gluing and questioning my life choices worth it.

Bob Villa, who?

So proud of this one.

WOW. Just WOW.

The photos from this Luxury South Asian Styled Shoot are absolutely STUNNING, and I have to give the biggest shout-out to Kingsley James

You have an incredible eye for detail. The way you captured the colors, textures, movement, florals, cake, desserts, and all of the little details was beyond beautiful. You made everything look even more magical than it did in person.

It was such an honor to be part of this incredible collaboration, and I am SO excited to finally share these images!

Thank you for making our work look this good! ❤️
