I grew up in Ontario, playing shinny in winters and enjoying backyard pool parties in summers. Moving to BC after high school, I later explored Japan, teaching English and immersing myself in its culture. Traveling the world, I climbed mountains, hiked the Great Wall, and swam with sharks. Now, drawing on my love for food and experiences abroad, I run a chocolate business, infusing bark with flavors like orange peel and almonds. Embracing life's moments, I've traded the corporate world for the excitement of entrepreneurship, making chocolate bark full-time in pursuit of my passion.
I craft BLINK using high-quality Belgian chocolate, hand-tempering it in small batches for quality and consistency. Tempering ensures a satisfying "snap" by tightly bonding molecules. After heating and cooling the chocolate, I pour it into custom PET trays, adding locally sourced toppings. Once cooled, I hand-package each bark in food-safe wrappers and custom envelopes, finished with a label and ribbon.
