Kate’s Story
I always knew I loved working with plants and flowers, but until 2020, I just didn’t have the time to enjoy it. I was a busy working parent commuting to a downtown Chicago office, and I’d find myself daydreaming about the green roof outside my window, wandering through the Lurie Garden on the lakefront, or thumbing through flower catalogs and imagining what I’d plant one day.
After 2020, everything changed. I was finally home, and I had time to literally dig in. I took the Floret Workshop and my county extension’s gardening courses, and transformed my ¼ acre suburban yard into a micro farm. I immersed myself in learning everything I could about cut flowers and what it takes to grow them beautifully.
Now, I’m channeling that knowledge and passion into floral design. With a background in human-centered design and product strategy, I believe intentional design can impact lives. It feels natural to serve offices, hotels, spas and restaurants — places that are often beautiful and well-designed, but too often missing the life, texture, and joy that plants and flowers bring.
