Flowers make me ridiculously happy. Looking back, they have always been in my future, even if it took me awhile to find my way here!
As I planned my wedding in 2010, I realized just how much joy and energy I get from creative projects and being surrounded by all of the beauty inherent in the design world. I left my 12-year government career as a language analyst and Jen and I co-founded LilyPad Weddings, a design firm specializing in custom wedding stationery. After helping many couples with their wedding invitations, I took time off to pursue my biggest creative pursuit, being home with my two children.
I found my way back to flowers in 2022 when, for a Mother’s Day gift, my family cleared a patch of our yard to be used a cutting garden. The amazing mix of colors, textures, and shapes found amongst the blooms serves as a daily source of inspiration.
I have a B.A. in Psychology from Williams College. While exploring various creative pursuits, I dabbled in photography and my photos have been selected for a juried exhibit at Glen Echo Park, published in UPPERCase Magazine, and awarded a ribbon at the Martha’s Vineyard Agricultural Fair.
