A BIT ABOUT ME

Prior to being a floral designer, I spent 20+ years as a documentary producer for the BBC and several independent production companies. I’ve been able to transfer quite a few of those skills into floristry: an eye for composition, essential time-keeping skills, plus, all that experience in storytelling means I approach each arrangement thinking about the narrative it needs to tell – whether it's celebrating a milestone or conveying sympathy.

When I'm not arranging flowers, you'll find me with my nose in a book (I'm an avid reader), tending to my garden with an increasing brood of dogs and cats, or foraging in my patch of Kentish woodland looking for beautiful treasures. There's something deeply satisfying about finding wild ingredients or discovering what nature has to offer each season.
