Biography

Zoe Nathan, who is from Los Angeles, moved to New York at 17 and enrolled at the New School, majoring in photography and writing.

After working briefly at Traci Desjardin鈥檚 Jardini猫re, she walked into a bakery in San Francisco, found a 鈥渨hole bunch of girls looking like me, with tattoos鈥 and wanted to both work with them and befriend them. After much persistence they eventually let her, and she was part of the team at the acclaimed Tartine Bakery & Caf茅 for two years. Nathan and her husband and partner, Josh Loeb, now own and operate Rustic Canyon Wine Bar and Seasonal Kitchen and Huckleberry Bakery and Caf茅.
