Marile Jacobi-Popovich

I have a passion for cooking, eating, creating and talk about cooking and eating. I love a challenge professionally or personally. I live in the Chicagoland area with my husband, Dale and my two Pembroke welsh corgis. With no formal culinary training but grew with amazing cooks who also were fearless in the kitchen. Being a foodie is a spiritual thing for me -- I love bring family and friends together through food and entertaining.

My professional life and personal lives quite often cross over. I'm a graphic designer, brand strategist, art directer, creative directer, digitalist, photoshop junky, photography and love creating digital murals. Creating work that makes an emotional connection through empathy, humor and beauty is what fuels me. I love bringing food to client meetings to help start the discussion on a sweet note.

Love my Apple + being a graphic designer= pretty recipe cards. One last comment: I HAVE MORE HOBBIES THAN LIFETIME!
