Floral Artistry Rooted in Raw Nature & Wonder
Flowers have always been my refuge and favourite language. My love for them began in my mum’s garden—and grew in every greenhouse and garden show that captured my gaze afterwards. Over the years, this passion has led me through every facet of the floral industry, from wrapping wholesale bouquets to designing for Hallmark and Netflix productions with Brown’s The Florist, and writing about flowers for local publications. It has also led me into conservation work as a horticulturist, across diverse landscapes, and ultimately to earning the title of International Master Florist at the renowned Boerma Institute in the Netherlands under Gregor Lersch—becoming the first Canadian to do so.
Today, I work with local gems like Zingaro Floral Perfumery and The Gardens at HCP, while bringing floral projects to life that celebrate legacy, embrace sustainable practices, and capture nature’s raw, vegetative beauty. I also offer masterclasses, demonstrations, and one-on-one mentorship to help fellow florists and creative minds expand their craft.
Let’s connect and create together as we continue to push floristry forward while honouring its timeless roots.
