Meet Jess,

I’ve always been someone who follows curiosity wherever it leads me, from discovering new flavors to creating illustrations inspired by everyday moments. The Gourmie is my way of sharing those discoveries while inviting others to explore their own.

The Gourmie is a creative corner built around food, art, and storytelling. It celebrates the little moments that inspire us, the experiences that shape us, and the connections we create along the way.

The name “Gourmie” was inspired by a moment during my studies in France. While enjoying a cold treat in Nice, my professor noticed my genuine excitement and appreciation for the experience and said, “Jess is what the French call ‘gourmandine.’”

It was a simple observation that captured something I’ve always carried with me: a love for discovery and connection, whether big or small.

My Vision

To inspire a world where curiosity is embraced as a way of discovering more about ourselves, each other, and the world around us.

My Mission

To inspire exploration through food, creativity, and storytelling by creating experiences that spark imagination, encourage discovery, and bring people together.

My Purpose

To remind people that there is magic in the mundane. The smallest moments can reveal something new about the world around us and ourselves.

Over the years, The Gourmie has evolved beyond a love of food into something much greater than the moment that inspired its name in Nice.

A Gourmie is someone who delights in exploring the world, embracing creativity, and discovering more about themselves along the way.

Because every flavor, every creation, and every little moment holds a story waiting to be uncovered.

All you have to do is follow your curiosity.

Jess, The Gourmie
