Business by Design is MODA’s event series that explores how design fuels innovation, solves complex challenges, and shapes the world we live in. We invite boundary-pushing creatives to share the bold ideas and design thinking behind their work.
About the Event:
Join us for a deliciously inspiring evening with Jocelyn Debuke, the founder and creative force behind JARDÍ Chocolate, Atlanta’s beloved maker of exquisite, hand-crafted bon bons.
In this edition of Business x Design, we’ll sit down with Jocelyn to explore her journey from concept to craft—how she came to create JARDÍ Chocolate, the challenges and joys of running a small business, and how design has shaped every aspect of what she does. From choosing a name and building a brand to designing unforgettable flavor experiences, Jocelyn brings intention, artistry, and innovation to every step of the process.
Whether you’re a chocolate lover, an aspiring entrepreneur, or simply curious about the intersection of design and business, this conversation will both delight and inspire.
Come for the insight. Stay for the chocolate.

About Jocelyn DeBuke
Jocelyn Debuke is the founder and creative mind behind Jardi Chocolate. A former pastry chef with a passion for design, Jocelyn brings a multidisciplinary perspective to her work—melding culinary technique with visual storytelling.

Driven by a desire to create something uniquely her own, Jocelyn launched Jardi Chocolate to explore the intersection of flavor, form, and feeling. Her bon bons reflect her belief that food should not only taste amazing but also spark joy and curiosity.
