He is the co-founder of splidu, a platform dedicated to spotlighting supper clubs, underground dining, and chef-led experiences that move beyond traditional restaurant formats.

Alongside splidu, Kevin is the founder of Carvin Concepts, an F&B advisory and concept studio focused on experience-driven dining formats, pop-ups, and brand collaborations. His work spans immersive tasting journeys, chef residencies, and unconventional dining formats that challenge how hospitality is traditionally designed, marketed, and consumed.
