ENRIQUE SANTIAGO GOMEZ
London,Lambeth
Summary
I am a multidisciplinary, detail‑driven person building a new chapter through food. Having completed formal training at Leith's School of Cookery, I am certified in Level 2 Patisserie & Confectionery and now seek to utilise my skills and change careers having worked as an interior architect for the past 10 years. Alongside this, I am studying for Level 3 qualification in Patisserie and Confectionary and thoroughly enjoy sourdough baking, a practice which I am proud to say I have self-taught. My background in interior design and visual display gives me strong aesthetic sensitivity, organisation and craft. In my spare time, I volunteer serving hot meals and offering support to people in need, guided by a belief that food and honest storytelling are powerful ways to bring people together. I’m motivated to grow within bakery work and contribute to environments where care, collaboration and purpose shape the everyday.
