Eve Schlagintweit

Hospitality Founder & Advisor

I've never been particularly good at doing just one thing.

Over the years, I've built a café, food trucks, brands, and businesses—but what has always interested me most isn't the business itself. It's the people behind it. What makes a place feel welcoming. Why some conversations stay with us for years while others disappear by the next morning. How a beautifully designed space can change the way we feel before a single word is spoken.

That curiosity led me to study psychology, but most of what I've learned has happened outside the classroom. Building businesses, leading teams, travelling the world, and sitting across the table from people with stories to tell has taught me far more than any textbook ever could.

Hospitality has been one of my greatest teachers. It showed me that the smallest details matter—the way someone is welcomed, the atmosphere of a room, the conversations shared over coffee. It was never really about food. It was about creating places where people feel seen.

These days, my interests continue to overlap in unexpected ways. Business. Design. Psychology. Travel. Leadership. Beautiful spaces. Meaningful conversations. They all point me toward the same question: what makes a life feel well lived?

This is simply a place to share what I'm learning along the way. If something here resonates with you, I'm glad you're here.
