our team

Co-founders Nastassia Johnson (the "n") & Amy McCullaugh (the "a") have been friends and collaborators for nearly five years, but were geeking out over food long before they met. A vet of LA's dining scene, Nastassia has overseen operations at beloved local restaurants, launched a J.Gold-lauded food truck, run a successful dessert blog, and consulted with numerous culinary start-ups and brands. Similarly immersed in LA's foodscape, Amy began building her career at Coolhaus, where she played an integral role in overseeing the food truck start-up evolve into a national, gourmet ice cream brand; she’s since executed marketing/PR campaigns for over 40 clients in the hospitality industry, ranging from chef-driven restaurants to citywide dining events. They founded n|a Consulting in 2016 with the vision of bridging their unique strengths to create a new type of agency that integrates pr, marketing, digital, and operations support to meet the ever-evolving needs of today's modern business.
