What do you make:
I am a floral designer/still life photographer. Ultimately, flowers are my primary medium whether that is floral design for events or images of my work for brands and collaborations. My work has temporarily shifted from in person events because of the pandemic to connecting with people in new ways through flowers.
Part time or full:
For many years, I worked at Anthropologie as the Visual Manager while starting the floral business in my spare time. Since 2015, I have been full time!
6 words to describe your work:
joyful, sculptural, chromatic, whimsical, curious, mindful
A typical day in your life:
My 3 year old wakes me up with a loud “Good morning, Mama!". I make the kids breakfast and myself an iced coffee while listening to Up First and The Daily. Work days are never the same. Responding to emails, shooting a photo, planning for upcoming projects, etc. Every day is different, but all of them involve making snacks and cleaning up toys.
Your favorite color:
Lavender, piglet pink, and powder blue. I love these pretty consistently.
Dream gig:
Creating an interactive floral installation for an art museum
Best advice you ever received:
Know your worth and charge accordingly.
What makes you feel inspired or produces the best work in you:
Remembering what inspired me as a child gets me the most excited. As a kid, I was constantly making things out of ordinary objects. I also love looking at vintage botanical books and Dutch masters paintings. I produce my best work when I get the opportunity to collaborate with other artists.
How living in Louisiana affects your work:
Our landscape in Louisiana is so distinct. I love incorporating our local flowers and foliage into my designs. It has a beautiful way of connecting the designs with our surroundings.

Getting to be around flowers. Hands down. They are magical.
