Meet Erin:

I am a raised Jersey girl who has always loved nature and creating things with my own hands. I grew up running barefoot through grass and dirt with my cousins, making mud pies adorned with pretty flower-like weeds, and eventually growing older with my friends, barefoot in the sands of Jersey Shore beaches, permanently crusted with sea salt all summer long. I used to spend hours and hours crafting anything and everything with my Aunt Jenny, one-day dream catchers and the next our own edible arrangements. I loved spending hours and hours creating school projects with my mom, asking my dad to help build my contraptions, or helping plan and make for our family's next get-together.

As I grew older, these passions stayed with me but grew into a more career-like direction. While at Temple University in Philadelphia, I interned for the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society and worked at the well-known Philadelphia Flower Show. This is when flowers first became more than something I just thought was pretty and something I began to develop a passion for. The Philadelphia Flower Show is the nation’s largest horticultural event, where the world’s best floral and landscape designers come together to create massive and stunning displays using all kinds of floral and plant varieties. To say the least, I was in complete awe. I couldn’t believe the one-of-a-kind collections and the unique flowers, most I had never even heard of. The Flower Show gave me the opportunity to begin to learn the names of these new flowers, peaked my interest in design, and even held flower arranging shows that I’d watch for hours. It was still some time after this until I started my floral career, but my time with the horticultural society allowed me to see how impactful flowers could be to me.

Fast forward a few years, I had just moved to Los Angeles, and I was working as a production assistant on a film set that was being designed by a very popular floral designer. Being there, I had the same feeling the first time I saw the breathtaking displays at the Flower Show. I was in awe, and it was like I was meant to be there. I worked alongside the florists, and I asked them everything I could about everything they knew about the industry. I began freelancing for different floral designers that taught me the tricks of the trade and helped me grow into the business I have created. It was a winding road to get here but worth the wait.
