My love of flowers began when picking dandelions in my front yard as a child, and really took shape after taking a night class in floral design from San Francisco City College. Since then every day has been about flowers, whether it be learning new names and varieties, studying design styles, or scrolling through Instagram to see every beautiful arrangement possible. I find inspiration from the redwood forests and grassy wildflower fields in Northern California as well as the picturesque manor gardens of the Scottish countryside, where I lived for some time. I feel strongly about designing in an eco-conscious way, using seasonal and local blooms without chemicals, producing as little waste as possible. My dream is to one day have an organic flower farm of my own.
