Waffles + Mochi

TELEVISION SERIES

Waffles and Mochi embark on a global food expedition in order to become chefs. With the help of Mrs. Obama, Waffles and Mochi travel the world, learning all they can about different foods and cultures!

Opportunity

Create a food show that travels—across cultures, ages, and access points.
Make curiosity the entry point.

Approach

Keep it open, not instructive.

I approached research as a way to support discovery—building frameworks that allowed culture, ingredients, and story to feel connected without feeling didactic.

Execution

• Cultural and culinary research across global food traditions

• Synthesized materials into accessible, story-forward references

• Supported alignment across creative and production teams

Impact

Global release on Netflix through Higher Ground Productions.
Helped shape a series that introduces food, culture, and curiosity to a broad, intergenerational audience.
