ABOUT ME
ABOUT ME
13516265_10157027217675368_5354285182530

I started my career in floristry in 2013 after a series of life changing events.

I'm passionate about creating and the visual arts.

 

I love that flowers mark special events in peoples lives and I take joy in being part of that process.

 

I understand floristry as an art form and like any art form given the right time and environment any thing is possible. 

WHAT I'VE DONE

Since graduating with a BA Honors degree in Fine Arts & visual culture.  I have had quite a varied career. My experience ranges from working as an advertising creative to graphics, brand development and marketing to finally, comunications coordinator and floral designer.

 

It was as a comunications coordinator that I discovered my love for flower arranging. After that I set up my own small business and not long after I chose to work for a larger company to gain more experience. I decided to move back to the UK and attended Covent Garden Flower Academy and continued to work in the flower industry  a total of 3 years.

 

I have always been passionate about charity and NGO's that help people around the world, while at university and after graduating I worked in fundraising for a number of charities; among these where action aid, plan Uk and the Royal national Society for deaf people. During the refugee crisis in 2015 I decided to put my skills back to work and participated as a full time fundraiser and team leader for Amnesty International for one year.

Finally I met my husband and moved to Germany where I have been focusing on moving and continuing my art practice.
