I have always loved flowers, and when I studied at Wimbledon Art School I specialised in printed textile design, with flowers and nature having a huge influence on my designs. Later on in my career I trained as a florist in 2003 - I knew quite quickly that I had found my calling!

Once I had qualified at C&G Level 2 - my experience within retail floristry over the next 6 years was invaluable - learning the trade from all aspects. I set up my business in 2009 specialising in wedding floristry - also creating farewell flowers for local clients.

Later on I returned to study Level 3 and Level 4 floristry, and in recent months have continued to develop my knowledge further, having completed the Level 5 Master Diploma with a Distinction. I am a lecturer at a local adult education college, Cambridge Art Makers and also run workshops from my home based studio.

On a regular basis I update my training with floristry courses run by industry experts - both in the Uk and Europe. Where possible I use materials which will naturally degrade.  When in season and available, we use British locally grown flowers, with the aim to reduce our carbon footprint and support our British growers.
