Kurt Beadell | Creative Director
Equally versed in food, design and fine arts, Kurt has an uncanny ability to imagine spectacular concepts and translate them into dramatic realities. Through his background in fine dining, Kurt grew to fully appreciate the artistry of food and the concept of “eating with your eyes.” Today he applies this same philosophy to events and décor. Kurt’s artwork has been featured in several Portland-area galleries, including the Museum of Contemporary Craft, and his personal art collection has been featured on Oregon Public Broadcasting.
