About the Blog

Formerly known as vmac+cheese, Victoria's been sharing her ideas and inspiration on her blog since the summer of 2008. Like so many bloggers, she started writing when she needed a good creative outlet — for her, it was a way to share stories about her life as a recent culinary school grad, and her adventures as a freelancer.

These days, while posts are intermittent, you'll find her writing about all things design, beauty, and culture, along with essays about adoption, motherhood, and SF.
