After spending 15 years working in art departments on television and film projects, I’ve built a career around creativity, logistics, and —let’s be honest— moving heavy things. The desire to start a business, one that was unrelated to film seems like an odd jump, but I see it as a necessity in the changing landscape of Hollywood. That’s where the idea for this business was born. Starting a vending machine company felt like a natural fit, combining planning, movement, and maintenance, all things I’ve handled for years behind the scenes.

I named the company after my dog, Kirkland, who reminds me daily of the value of loyalty, simplicity, and good snacks.
