An indoor plant specialist, florist and educator, I am passionate about creating wild and beautiful designs with nature. My work is influenced by naturalistic landscape design and the Japanese concept of wabi-sabi, which I interpret as an appreciation of the imperfections and transience of natural beauty.
I studied botany at the New York Botanical Garden and spent several years honing my indoor plant knowledge and floristry skills at such renowned New York businesses as Sprout Home, Stonefruit Botanical and Tula. I also worked as a stylist on the Sprout Home book, Rooted in Design. I fell in love with random weaving after learning the art from acclaimed Australian artist Harriet Goodall more than a decade ago.
I am dedicated to spreading plant knowledge and understanding and over more than a decade have taught plant education and design workshops at dozens of locations in Australia and the USA, including the New York Botanical Garden, Chelsea Garden Center, Henry Summer and Stackwood.
I currently live in Walyalup (Fremantle) on Whadjuk Noongar Boodjar with my husband and two girls.
