items Design projects run on creativity, coffee, and a surprising amount of snacks. I know, because I'm there!
From quick bites between meetings to comfort foods during late-night designing sessions, these are the foods that seem to appear again and again ...
Why I love this brand of coffee? Because the brewing process limits sharpness, making it incredibly easy to drink without a harsh aftertaste.
Dunkin’ Original Blend Medium Roast Ground Coffee, 30 oz Canister
Cheese croissants are my favourite. They trigger my brain’s pleasure center with a perfect combination of fat (butter) and cheese (sometimes with ham). Keeps me coming back for more!
Marketside All Butter Mini Cheese Baked Croissants, 9.8 oz, 10 Count
Yes! Must be Ferrero Rocher, and sometimes Toblerone. They say that food scientists call this a "high-lubricity mouthfeel," which the brain finds deeply satisfying.

Planters! My most favoured brand for nuts. Whether it's the classic sea salt, sweet honey roasted, or bold flavors like Cinnamon Brown Sugar, the seasoning perfectly enhances cashew’s natural flavor without overpowering it.

I always go ‘bananas’ with the banana and raisins mix. My other favourites are: orange & chocolate, nutty combo, and banana & coconut.

How I enjoy my hummus and when? The way I enjoy hummus is warm, topped generously with extra virgin olive oil, herbs, and protein, and scooped using fresh, warm pita bread. It's my deadline-day comfort food.
Sabra Roasted Garlic Fresh Hummus Dip, Non-GMO, Gluten Free, Vegan Hummus Spread, 8oz Tub
I prefer caramel hot chocolate because it creates the ultimate sensory indulgence. The buttery, toasted sweetness of caramel perfectly balances the rich, slightly bitter taste of pure cocoa.
