My journey into floristry began through the quiet satisfaction of growing flowers. From the very beginning, it was the delicate and fragrant blooms that captured my heart - the kinds so often missing from conventional flower offerings. That absence sparked both a passion and a purpose: to grow the flowers I longed to work with, and to design arrangements that celebrated their natural beauty.

I now work from my garden-based studio at home, with a nearby cutting patch where I grow many of the flowers I use. Being hands-on from seed to stem allows me to create arrangements that are truly seasonal and rooted in the landscape around me. What I don’t grow myself, I try to source from other local and British growers when the season allows.

As the seasons evolve so will the flowers in a bouquet. Whether a bridal bouquet, a winter wreath or farewell florals, each design is entirely unique. I design in response to what’s in bloom, letting the flowers guide the shape and feel of each piece. My style leans into the natural rhythm of the garden - wild, textural, and full of movement. This connection with nature inspires a gentler, more sustainable approach to floristry, avoiding floral foam and single-use plastics, in favour of eco-conscious techniques that reflect that respect.

For me, floristry is a quiet storytelling - of petals and place, of scent and season - from the garden soil to your hands or home.

In May 2025 I was delighted to win the regional heat of the British Florist Association’s UK Florist of the Year - Newcomer category in Sheffield. As one of the top 6 scoring florists across the UK, I progressed to the Live finals at FleurEx in October. After a series of tasks constructed under timed conditions I was thrilled to be awarded the title of UK Florist of the Year - Newcomer 2025.

This recognition means a great deal to me, as it celebrates not just the design, but the craft, creativity and care that go into floristry. It was a truly exciting opportunity to grow, learn and share my passion for flowers with others, and I am excited about where this creative journey will lead.
