Wild, Earthy, Artful, & Unexpected Sustainable Florals for All
As a Sustainable Floral Designer, my designs and practices are guided by my love for the Earth, my local environment + community, & the beauty of the changing seasons. Working Sustainably requires more effort & energy but I truly wouldn't do it any other way! Here's how I design all of my Florals with Sustainability at the forefront:
I proudly source the majority (90-100% for each event!) of the flowers and foliage that I use from local growers who prioritize regenerative and organic farming practices, alongside some foraging of wild natives, with the balance sourced domestically or from Canada (<1% of the material I use is imported!)
I focus on sourcing vintage, thrifted, & locally-made vessels + hard goods, cultivating a thoughtful library of vases, vessels, candles, and more that are versatile and timeless
I am a "foam-free" designer, using biodegradable, compostable, + non-toxic alternatives to traditional poisonous floral foam, & engineering creative mechanics using salvaged, recyclable, + natural materials
​
Though always minimal, any leftover ingredients are dried for reuse, composted, or donated to a local assisted living facility near my studio, sharing the beauty of your flowers beyond your celebration!
​
As with all of my offerings, love is at the forefront of my creations. My work is for every couple –
no matter your race, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, age, ability, & beyond.

My Floral Design experience is as versatile as my designs! I casually dappled in Floral Design academically through a couple of classes at the University of Rhode Island and Floral Art School in Los Angeles. Things really got serious between me and flowers, however, in 2019 when I began using florals and plants almost daily in my work as a Photo Stylist + Set Designer in Los Angeles. Upon my return to New England in 2021, I serendipitously connected with Weatherlow Florals where I became Assistant Floral Design Manager and was given the gift of being mentored by local flower-legend Phoebe Poole. Since then, I have flowered over 75 weddings and events from backyard soirees to castles & mansions and have grown my skill-set, flower knowledge, and repertoire in ways I'd never imagined! In addition to flowering for the folks who book me, I also continue to freelance and collaborate with other talented designers from all-over the country, as I believe deeply and whole-heartedly that we are forever students and gain so much when we connect in our craft and learn from eachother. Designing with florals has grown to be one of my favorite artistic practices and making expressive, beautiful, & whimsical things with them is a meditation in creativity for me.
