In Good Company

I founded Yoli Vendors® because I believe vending should feel like hospitality. For me, vending is not just about convenience, it’s about creating spaces that welcome, restore, and inspire. Each lounge I design is meant to be a destination within a destination, where ease meets luxury and every detail is intentional.

My background in hospitality, public health, and experiential design guides the way I build concepts. Whether it’s The Snack Prodigy Lounge, The Arctic Gallery, The Snack Oasis, Barké Haus, or Après Snack, every environment is crafted to serve its audience with curated product selections, modern furnishings, and immersive aesthetics. From airports to universities to cultural venues, I design vending experiences that are scalable, seamless, and memorable.

I move through four guiding values: intention, ensuring each concept is purposeful and user-centered; execution, bringing professionalism and precision to every detail; giving back, through community investment and charitable partnerships; and empowerment, making travel and daily life easier through thoughtfully designed vending.

As a certified Minority and Women-Owned Business Enterprise with the City of Los Angeles, and with brand names federally trademarked, I am committed to protecting and scaling Yoli Vendors® with integrity. More than a vending company, this is a hospitality brand in motion reimagining automated retail as an experience in luxury, ease, and design.
