Sometimes in life, you just have to go for it. And this is ESPECIALLY the case in the high-pressure world of food styling. Like the old adage, you never know until you try- you actually really DON'T know until you try. And let’s be real- stepping out there can be terrifying. It’s h-e-double-pretzel-sticks-a risky. But, a lot of the time- it works out. 

In this episode we highlight the most amazing mom and hardest working food stylist we know- Loren Wood. Her story of transformation is inspiring- from working as the pastry chef at a James Beard award-winning restaurant to now serving clients that range from Coca-cola to Chick-fil-A to Hammer Stahl and pretty much every single magazine you can think of. She shares about the mistakes she made;  the cake she Frankensteined together during a windstorm; how the courage she developed through the excellence food styling led her to overcome self-doubt, and when you just aren't sure, check the lighting. :)

Let’s open our minds and hearts to gain wisdom and courage from Loren’s story. I’m hoping it will make us all a little braver in our creative work today.

This is a great episode for someone looking to get into food styling or who just needs a creative career boost. Welcome to Style to Set:)
