A BIT ABOUT ME

I live in sunny Somerset with my husband George. When I'm not working with flowers I'm visiting the beaches along the Jurassic coast or popping up to London to see friends, drink cocktails and visit exhibitions.

My favourite flower… This year I've been utterly obsessed with Poppies.

EXPERIENCE AND QUALIFICATIONS

Alumni to: Tallulah Rose Flower School, Bath. Career Change course. Saffron Flowers. Large scale installation. I currently work with: Little Thatch Florists, Sherborne. Black Shed Flower Farm, Sherborne.

Having recently changed career paths, I am excited to work with and help create the visions of other florists and floral designers. I bring with me 10 years of experience within the Art & Design industry, working on large scale installations and events with various mediums.

PREFERRED TYPE OF FLORISTRY WORK

I love to work on a variety of projects, whether working with silhouettes of singular stems or multiple flowers on mass. I have a soft spot for dried, non traditional flowers and foliage. I enjoy being in both the studio and on location and am not afraid to problem solve.
