My love for flowers began as a child, spending summers in my grandparents garden and captivated by the beautiful floral centerpieces they always had displayed on their kitchen table. The colorful arrangements filled their home with life and sparked my curiosity about the different types of blooms. Over the years, this fascination blossomed into a full-fledged passion, leading me to explore floristry design.

When I’m not surrounded by flowers, you can find me at a yoga class, walking my Goldendoodle, Maggie around North-Center, Chicago or exploring all the delicious restaurants the city has to offer. My husband and I also love to travel. One of my favorite things to do when we’re abroad is explore the different flora each area has to offer. 

Living in Chicago has added a unique dimension to my floral journey. The city's vibrant seasons and diverse neighborhoods provide endless inspiration. From the stunning tulip displays along Michigan Avenue in the spring to neighborhood sidewalk gardens blooming with native flowers in the summer. I also love exploring local farmers' markets for fresh flowers and visiting lush botanical gardens such as the Garfield Park Conservatory. 

I've always been drawn to creative expression, whether through visual storytelling, design, or problem-solving. Over the years, I found the most fulfillment in roles that allowed me to bring beauty and artistry into everyday spaces. That passion ultimately led me to floral design—a path where I can be fully immersed in creativity, working with nature’s most beautiful elements to craft meaningful, artful arrangements. Being surrounded by flowers not only fuels my creativity but also allows me to bring joy to others through my designs.
