I was raised in the Central Valley of California, and now make my home in San Diego with my husband and our two sweet children. As a floral designer, I create wedding and event designs that tell stories through color and texture, sourcing blooms from local farms and gardens whenever possible. As a floral educator, I invite students across North America into the world of local flowers, time-honored techniques, and the principles of thoughtful design, all while exploring romantic shapes and textures.

In my studio, flowers are treated as art, but my deepest hope is that when they reach your hands, they feel familiar and alive — like a gentle echo of gardens you’ve loved before.

This is the heart of Cottage Garden Florals: designs that still seem to belong to the garden, carrying its story, its fragrance, and its fleeting beauty.
