My work
With over 25 years of design experience spanning the globe, I bring a unique creative vision to every floral arrangement and space I touch. My work has been featured in prestigious publications including Martha Stewart Weddings, The Knot, Style Me Pretty, and Elle Decor.
My design philosophy is simple: create an experience that translates my client's creative DNA. My style tends to be playful rather than formal, relaxed instead of serious, while always complementing the client's vision. I love mixing styles and textures, letting the environment influence each creation.
I'm passionate about sharing knowledge through workshops, teaching color theory, floral expertise, and the art of foraging. There's something magical about showing others how to create beauty from the simplest elements found during a walk around their yard - transforming the ordinary into something extraordinary.
Beyond my role as a designer, I'm a mother, daughter, and sister who's deeply passionate about women's mental health, particularly around hormonal changes. I actively bring awareness to dementia, especially as it affects women. As a certified life coach through the Martha Beck program, I cherish being the window through which my clients can see new possibilities for themselves.
My diverse background includes real estate (I hold a license for flipping houses) and life coaching, giving me a holistic approach to design that considers both space and personal transformation.
After years of designing on both coasts—from mountain bungalows to coastal interiors—I found my home in Ojai, where I met and married the love of my life. Together, we've combined his international perspective with my design expertise to create Forage Ojai, bringing fresh, innovative floral designs to our community.
