Hi, I’m Michael Jordan, and welcome to Liberty Kitchen Garden Oaks – a cozy corner of the internet where honest opinions meet everyday practicality. I’ve always been fascinated by the simple joy of things that work well – whether it’s a kitchen gadget that makes cooking easier, a garden tool that lasts through every season, or a home product that actually lives up to its promise.
Before starting this blog, I spent nearly ten years in the hospitality and food service industry, helping cafés and restaurants improve their kitchens from the ground up. That experience taught me more than any manual could – about design, durability, and how the right tools can make daily life smoother and more enjoyable.
My Journey
I earned my degree in Industrial Design from the University of Midlands and later moved to Portland, Oregon, where I live in a small farmhouse with my partner and our golden retriever, Biscuit. These days, my kitchen and garden are my favorite testing grounds. Between brewing morning coffee, trying new cookware, and growing fresh vegetables, I find inspiration in the balance of modern convenience and simple living.

Why I Started This Blog
In 2025, I decided to turn years of hands-on experience into something useful for others. Liberty Kitchen Garden Oaks became my way to share real-world product reviews, thoughtful insights, and honest recommendations. I don’t chase trends or hype; I focus on what truly helps people make smarter buying decisions and live better at home.
Each review here is built on actual use – tested, compared, and explained in plain language. Whether it’s a must-have kitchen essential or a backyard upgrade, I aim to give you clarity before you spend your hard-earned money.
A Note to You
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by endless choices online, you’re not alone – I’ve been there too. My goal is to make this space feel like chatting with a friend who’s already done the research for you. I’m glad you’re here, and I hope my reviews help you discover products that bring comfort, quality, and a little peace of mind to your everyday life.
Welcome to Liberty Kitchen Garden Oaks – where practicality meets personality, and every review comes from real experience.
