A BIT ABOUT ME

I am an experienced freelance florist with a love for flowers and nature shaped by my upbringing in the Wiltshire countryside. After developing my design skills and floristry career in London, I gained experience running a nature-inspired wedding flower business in Chamonix, France.

My interests include trail running, snowboarding, and yoga, which keep me connected to the outdoors and creativity. Since returning to the UK, I have dedicated myself to professional growth through courses focused on floral team leadership, business skills, and sustainability.

I am excited to collaborate with fellow florists and bring creativity, floral care, and reliability to each project as a freelance florist in London.

A professional who has built expertise through hands-on experience and self-directed learning. I have completed a range of short courses, including ikebana in Melbourne, Australia. My journey has included working in various flower shops in London, UK. As a flower consultant for Paula Pryke OBE, I was responsible for redesigning floral arrangements for luxury cruise ships based in Los Angeles. I established a small flower business in the Alps, specialising in wedding flowers for beautiful settings such as lakes and mountains. During my time in the Alps, I had the privilege of designing Christmas decorations with an Alpine festive spirit for an editorial photoshoot with H&M Home.
