Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Katherine Perdomo & Marcos Mejias. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Alright, Katherine Perdomo thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Are you happy as a creative professional? Do you sometimes wonder what it would be like to work for someone else?

Currently we both live from our full time jobs Monday to Friday office hours. In our spare time, what we like to do the most is feed our hobby. As a dancer or in this case a flamenco dancer (Spanish dance) I try to take courses regularly and attend classes. Marcos in the kitchen area always seeks to invent new things and perfect the techniques learned. This preparation is what allows us on many occasions to monetize our hobby, so that in the future (which we hope will not be too distant) it is what sustains us financially and to be able to live from what makes us happy and what we are passionate about.

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.

Katherine, I’m 33 years old. I’m an attorney in my country of origin, Venezuela. Marcos is 37 years old and is an accountant. Katherine started dancing flamenco at the age of 9. She during all these years receiving classes and taking courses to nurture this discipline. Marcos for his part begins his steps in the kitchen as a child too, learning with his family, especially his grandmothers. His taste for cooking grew, making him a beginner but a very disciplined “rookie” cook. When we emigrated was when the idea of ​​monetizing our hobbies arose, we started with our friends, cooking and also dancing for small events. The product we offer in our kitchen is mainly ready-to-eat food and catering. For her part, Katherine, who is also a kitchen assistant, offers her entertainment services through flamenco dancing, either performing or teaching. Although at first glance it seems that dancing and cooking are not related, our mission is the well-being of our clients, making ready-to-eat homemade food that reminds us of that homemade food that we all like so much, saving them time in the kitchen that can investing in other activities and dancing for your part is something that will keep you healthy and happy if you practice it or if you just enjoy it as entertainment.
We are proud to carry our Hispanic roots high, impacting the palates of diners with a magnificent “Asado Negro” (our star dish) and highlighting Spanish culture through dance

What’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative in your experience?

The most gratifying thing for us is to offer a product that, being homemade and handmade, competes with the big industries and is approved by customers. The most satisfying thing for us is the happiness and the good times that we offer to our clients. May our art be valued.

In your view, what can society to do to best support artists, creatives and a thriving creative ecosystem?

Encourage the consumption of more digital platforms like this one, which can make small entrepreneurs known and in this way sponsors, in addition to contributing money, can also help spread our presence and our message. That as citizens when choosing a restaurant, a work of art or going shopping, choose what is local, organic and artisanal before what is industrialized.
