NICE TO MEET YOU ❁
NICE TO MEET YOU ❁
❁ I grew up in rural Alberta where countless hours were spent exploring nature and picking wild strawberries that grew on our family acreage. Although I’ve lived in the city of Calgary for over ten years now, I will always be a little bit country at heart. When the time came to go to college I decided to study Fine Arts. Following that, I ventured into the floral industry, encountering it’s distinctive challenges and joys.
❁ I was instantly fascinated by the endless variety of flowers, the inspiring designers I worked alongside, and the many heartfelt stories that clients shared with me. From sorrowful occasions to blissful celebrations; I felt honored to be a part of it. During this period, I myself was navigating the early stages of grief after the loss of someone close to me.
❁ Working with flowers was therapeutic for me and gave me the chance to begin healing my heart and picking up the pieces. Discovering a profound passion, I took the leap to officially establish my own business in 2023—a decision that marked the beginning of our journey. I also took a floral design certificate course at Mount Royal University. Our mission is to cultivate meaningful connections through the language of flowers, enriching lives and celebrating the beauty of nature in every arrangement we create.
❁ A fun fact about me? My hair is generally always messy, no matter how much time and effort I put into styling it. When I'm not busy chasing my dreams in the floral world, you'll find me sipping coffee, getting lost in the pages of a book, and spending time with my partner, Owen and our cherished feline companions; Kiki and Max. <3
