Building Things, Solving Problems, Creating Experiences

The Mind of a Builder

Edel thrives on curiosity and creativity—rarely sitting still for long or could be undiagnosed ADHD. On the tech side, Edel is deeply engaged with programming, not just as a skill but as a way of thinking: solving problems, building things, and constantly exploring new tools or ideas.

That analytical mindset carries over into hands-on hobbies, especially woodworking and DIY crafts. Whether it’s shaping wood or assembling something from scratch, patience and attention to detail shine through. The process is enjoyed just as much as the outcome.

Music adds a more expressive, emotional dimension to life. Combined with an interest in weddings, it paints a picture of someone who appreciates meaningful moments, atmosphere, and bringing people together to create unforgettable experiences.

Finally, cooking ties everything together in a very tangible way. As the co-owner of Blue Whale Poke, Edel channels creativity into food and bbq, blending flavors and presentation with an entrepreneurial spirit. Running a restaurant requires leadership, organization, and a deep understanding of people—traits Edel embodies daily.
