Meet the Crew
LAUREN BLOOMBERG
Founder, CEO, Creative Director, Food Stylist
Lauren Bloomberg is a Food Stylist and Art Director based in New York City. Streamlined, balanced and colorful, her work reflects her early career as a journalist specializing in food trends and dining.
Featured in several Food Network shows, Bon Appetit magazine and national campaigns for Kith, Oscar Meyer, and Dorito’s, Lauren’s art brings food to life.
When she isn’t creating, Lauren enjoys traveling the world to ski, surf and eat.
AMY DRUMMOND
Co-Founder, Production Lead, Culinary Producer, Food Stylist
Amy is a Brooklyn-based food stylist and culinary producer and the nuts and bolts producer-y side of Secret Sauce (send your invoices to her!).
After a brief stint working in Advertising Sales fresh out of college, she ditched her desk for a cutting board and never looked back. She graduated from the International Culinary Center in NYC then was a line cook at The Dutch and finally made her way to full-time food styling.
Amy has worked for Food Network (where she met Lauren) and Rachael Ray's daytime TV show (where she met Kate) as well as commercial clients including Kraft Heinz, Goldbelly, HEB, Pepperidge Farm and Bon Appetit.
KATE BENNERT
Co-Founder, WebOps, Web Designer, Food Stylist
Kate is a web designer, food stylist, and the WebOps team at Secret Sauce.
You can find her happily existing at the intersection of food, media, and technology. Her creative work has been featured on Chopped, Beat Bobby Flay, and The Rachael Ray Show, as well as in campaigns for major brands such as King’s Hawaiian, Kroger, and Nutella.
Always looking for ways to improve web-based systems for food, hospitality, and media peers, Kate attended a coding bootcamp in 2022 where she built an event planning app that streamlined communication between planner and client.
Her dream is to simplify the media production process using transparent and efficient web technology.
She lives in Jersey City, right next door to Lauren (when Lauren isn’t out surfing).
