Following my Dream

I have decided to follow my dream and start up a floral design business from my home! My first college degree was in Horticulture and all throughout college and up until I got married, I worked in the floral industry in five different flower shops. I thoroughly enjoyed my time working with flowers, learning the "tricks of the trade" from some great and talented designers and managers and especially loved the response from the customers when something I designed made a difference in someone's life. Flowers are present in many of life's most meaningful and memorable moments - weddings, funerals, birthdays, holidays, etc.

I work in Admissions at Carl Sandburg College. While I enjoy my job and find satisfaction in assisting students in their requests for higher education, I have a strong desire to use my hands to produce something beautiful. Having been away from the industry for three years, I miss flowers and miss the chance the create beautiful arrangements. As a side job, I am starting a small floral design business from my home. My hope is that people will seek me out to assist them in bringing beautiful flowers into their lives!
