Everything has a story.
What’s in a name?
“Wolf Peach” is a very old name for the tomato. This playful term was born from the superstition that a now-ordinary tomato could turn a person into a werewolf. Preserved in its botanical name, lycopersicum, this weird and wonderful story about the humble tomato is a reminder that perspective itself holds the power to transform the ordinary into the legendary. It’s proof that the right lens can shape any brand’s story.
At Wolf Peach Creative, we see every brand’s story with this same potential for transformation. Let’s uncover the unique magic in your brand and amplify it into something unforgettable.

As Chair of the Santa Cruz City Arts Commission, her commitment to creativity, art, and community are unwavering. Liz’s journey is a tapestry of connections between place and food, art and storytelling. It continues to unfold into delicious new chapters.
EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT
Nicole Johns
Nicole is the heartbeat Wolf Peach Creative team, bringing experience and passion for serving others to her role. She graduated Magna Cum Laude from Texas A&M University, and served as a classroom teacher for 10 years. While teaching, Nicole was regionally recognized for her high-quality teaching and leadership. She left the classroom to have more time at home with her two kiddos, but she remains as relationship-driven and results-focused as ever.
She keeps our creative engine running smoothly, tracking our timetables and tasks like a pro. Nicole skillfully handles a range of administrative tasks, ensuring that our operations run precisely and efficiently. But when she’s not working, you can find her outdoors in her home of Houston, TX, where she loves to spend time with her friends and family and cares for her beloved Sulcata tortoise, “Shelly” by feeding her organically (even if she’s just eating mostly grass).
OUR HISTORY
Our flagship brand, The Curated Feast, started in 2015 as multi-course storytelling dinners featuring folklore, history, and symbolism woven into every bite.
After over dozen of these dinners, in 2018 we began helping other businesses tell their stories. Inspired by the same magic as the original Feasts, our agency now represents the transformative power of finding beauty in the everyday.
