She studied food science and sustainable agriculture, which is a formal way of saying she has always believed that what grows in the ground matters as much as what ends up on the plate.

After university, she moved to Tuscany to work on a vineyard. Then Croatia. Two coastlines, two languages, two kitchens where she learned more from watching than from any classroom. She came home to Cleveland carrying something she couldn't quite name yet.

She started a supper club to find out what it was.

Santé Supper Club began as a long table in Ohio City set for strangers. It still is. Every first and third Thursday during the season, people sit down together, share dishes, and stay longer than they planned. Something about a table set with intention does that.

From Santé, everything else grew.

The farm dinners. The collaborations. The sabbaticals. The studio that holds it all — moja — which is simply the name for the way Emily has always worked: food and creativity and community, woven together, in service of the room.

what moja creates

Dinners built around what the farm has this week. Events that feel like they could only have happened exactly this way. Sabbaticals in places where food is still the center of daily life — wherever the sun and the season lead.

Brand partnerships with producers and makers whose work belongs at a real table. Consulting for creative founders who are building something that matters and need a partner who has done it.

The question Emily asks before anything: does this belong at the table?

If the answer is yes, there is always a seat.
