Meet the Designer
The Story-Teller
Behind the Blooms
Owner & Lead Floral Designer
What began as a love for knowing the names of wildflowers has grown into something more intentional. I founded Cottage Floral Design with the belief that fresh florals should do more than decorate a space. They should draw people in, mark a moment, and tell a story.
Flowers are a luxury product and deeply perishable. To me, that is exactly what makes them meaningful. Their fleeting nature invites us to be present. When you bring flowers into a moment you want to celebrate, they ask you to slow down, to notice, and to feel it more fully.
I also believe flowers exist for a reason beyond function. There are countless ways plants reproduce, and yet we are given something this intricate and beautiful. To me, that reflects a Creator who values beauty, and reminds me that beauty itself is a worthy pursuit.
With a background in plant science and formal floral training, I approach each piece with both creativity and care, designing florals that not only look beautiful but move well and last throughout your day.
I have always been drawn to people and their stories, and that curiosity shapes everything I create. Inspired by the Dutch masters and the layered symbolism of florals throughout history, I design with intention, creating pieces that feel personal, expressive, and alive.
