Private chef and food business consultant based in New York City.
A modern approach to food, shaped by creative strategy and design.
I'm Samia: a private chef and food business consultant based in New York City. My background spans engineering, design thinking, restaurant kitchens, and NYC food startups. I studied sushi internationally at the Tokyo Sushi Academy, and I understand both the craft of cooking and what it actually takes to build something in this industry.
My work ranges from private dining and consulting to content creation and brand strategy. I care deeply about the people who work in food, and my goal is to help them build careers and businesses that are sustainable, fulfilling, and worth the effort — while continuing to expand my own identity as a chef.

Meet Samia
Regardless of the work I am doing, these are a few of my core beliefs. If these resonate with you, there is a good chance we should work together!
Attitude is the one thing you can always control. There’s joy to be found even in the mundane.
Balance is everything. You have to trust the process.
At any given moment, you are exactly where you are meant to be, and you are the luckiest version of yourself.
Anything can happen once you start.
I love food in all its forms, from the ingredients to the industry, and I care deeply about the people who also value it.
