She is a multi-disciplinary food industry creative, who worked as Mission Chinese Food's executive chef in New York. She is also a contributor to Bon Appétit magazine, a food stylist, media personality, and interested in the intersection of politics in her work.

In April 2018, Dimayuga was hired as creative director of food and culture for the Standard International hotel group.

Mission Chinese Food

In 2012 she was cold-called by Danny Bowien to help open the first New York City iteration of his San Francisco restaurant, Mission Chinese Food. Dimayuga helped design the menu and interiors for Bowien's subsequent three Manhattan restaurants: Mission Chinese Food on Orchard St, Mission Cantina, and the new Mission Chinese Food (after the closure of the Orchard Street location) on East Broadway.

Dipping into her Filipino roots, Dimayuga's menu at Mission Chinese Food was what she called "New American"; a cuisine not simply about Asian fusion or even Asian-American, but rather, reflective of the kind of hybrid dining. At MCF, Dimayuga was not only the executive chef, but helped to contextualize the restaurant within the culture of the surrounding Lower East Side and Chinatown neighborhoods, through various artist collaborations. Dimayuga commissioned a network of creatives to design work for the restaurant and its external pop-ups and collaborations. In addition, she selected musicians to play in the restaurant, as well as worked with friends and fellow artists to design a signature streetwear line for the restaurant.

In late October 2017, she resigned from Mission Chinese Food claiming "[her] sphere of ambition is just different and bigger."

Notable collaborations and events

Dimayuga has worked with and created collaborations and pop-ups for La Buvette, restaurant Noma, Le Chateaubriand, Frankie's Prime Meats, Dimes, Lyle's, Pok Pok, Sqirl, Night + Market, Saison, Lil' Deb's Oasis, Attica, Husk, among others.Шаблон:Citation needed
