My love for flowers began in Hawaii, where the landscape was always full of color, texture, and life. In high school, I interned with a florist who recognized my eye for design and hired me.
I spent nearly nine years learning the craft, from everyday arrangements to large events. Years later, as I helped start a Hood River flower farm it brought everything back into focus. I did not only want to design with flowers. I wanted to grow them, understand their seasons, and build a business around that connection.
Today, The Hood River Heritage Farm brings together more than 15 years of floral design experience with flowers grown on our family’s land.
