i co-founded Pistakio out of my college dorm in 2023. for our senior project, my partner and i set on the mission to reimagine pistachios, with the belief that there is more to them than just a nut. Pistakio was born out of our desire to create something pistachio-ey that wasn’t imported or premium, and that felt approachable enough to be used by everyone and at different times of the day.after college i turned down the idea of getting a corporate job and moved to Portland, OR to follow the dream of making pistachios a staple in every american household. our newly launched OG pistachio spread is now available nationwide and in 200+ doors all over the US.when i’m not thinking pistachios, you can (not so) easily find me hiking in the woods or sending a V5 in the bouldering gym.
