One more look at this little aster experiment.

The contrast of the delicate blooms brought back to form by something structured and manufactured. How it seems to be floating around the stool instead of resting on it and the color story of the lavender and orange(a palette I can’t quit). Hope it seems so simple and so complex at the same time.

But what I think I love the most about this design is that it took me so long to complete, it forced me to slow down and get lost in the process. Art as meditation.

This idea has been living in my head for months, and finally getting to see it exist outside of my brain felt really, really good.

I’ve always loved the relationship between flowers and fabric. It’s almost like a PB&J situation, they just make sense together. But instead of adding fabric into a design, I wanted to see what would happen if the flowers became the fabric themselves.

Asters felt like the obvious choice. They’re soft, a little wild, almost fringe-like, and when you start thinking about them in mass, they shift from “flower” to something closer to texture. Something you could almost run your hand over.

At first I thought about chicken wire for mechanics, but the growth habit of asters is too linear. It wouldn’t translate. So I started thinking smaller, if I removed the blooms from the stem, I could completely change how they behaved.

So I went snooping in my stepdads tool shed and found a roll of gutter mesh, and it ended up being the perfect mechanic. The grid held each bloom so snugly that I didn’t need glue or tape. Just press and place.

Once the structure was built and wrapped through the stool, I started placing each bloom one by one. Because of the way the mesh twists and turns, you get this mix of front-facing petals and the backs of the blooms, which created these tiny green dot patterns throughout. It almost reads like beadwork, or embroidery, and that detail ended up being one of my favorite parts.

I used about 5–6 bunches and built everything in the middle of a very hot Texas afternoon, so hydration was… not ideal. If I were doing this for a client, I’d absolutely refine the mechanics and prep the blooms differently. But for what this was, an exploration, it did exactly what I needed it to do.

And now my brain is already moving on to how to push this further.

Because there’s definitely more here.

Reflecting back on this past Designer’s Muse series, and as always, flowers have me over here thinking about life…

This season has felt like a quiet kind of rebirth. Very much like Spring, carrying the hope of renewal, of things pushing through what once felt dormant, of color returning, of life rearranging itself in more intentional ways. In many ways, so have I.

Life has shifted in ways that have required me to rebuild my business and my days around care, presence, and what I’m responsible for in the most real way. So I’ve been shifting how I hold my work, loosening my grip so something more sustainable can take shape.

I’m slowly finding my voice again, not just as a designer, but as a person. Even something as simple as recording audio for content pushed me outside my comfort zone in a way I didn’t expect. But it’s been part of learning how to show up more honestly and unapologetically. I know there’s this idea that business and personal life should remain separate, but they never have been for me. I am my business, and I think it’s important to be honest about that. That there is a world beyond what we create and share.

All of this to say, thanks for being here and I can’t wait to share the evolution of this new season. ❤️✨🌸

I recently had the opportunity to design with two gorgeous newer David Austin varieties, Enid and Phoebe.

Enid is creamy, perfectly balanced right on the edge of buttery. Phoebe leans peachy-pink, like sun-kissed salmon. Both open up into ruffles upon ruffles of petals and the fragrance is exactly what you hope a garden rose will smell like. The blooms are good size and the stems are just sturdy enough to give you that garden rose bounce and daintiness that we all love, which made them really nice to work with in a natural way.

Instead of arranging them using a traditional approach, I wanted the design to feel like a rose bush growing naturally in the garden, just placed on a tabletop. Roses billowing and clumping together the way they might outside.

I foraged some beautiful smilax from the pines nearby and some random branches with foliage to add support. I mixed both through the design to create a foliage structure that felt a little closer to rose growth. I love the final result and I think I’ll be revisiting this design soon!

Just a small garden moment, lifted onto the table.

A bold exploration of richness and depth for Valentine’s Day ❤️ and my favorite photo bomber 🥰

A study in shadowed reds and quiet contrast. Layers of Freedom, Black Bacara, and Dallas roses unfold in tones that drift from crimson to near black, rich and velvety in depth. Preserved copper beach foliage catches the light like embers, adding warmth and unexpected shine, while kangaroo paw and curly willow introduce movement and texture without breaking the spell. Wrapped in deep, dark tones, the bouquet feels dramatic, tactile, and intentional—romance rendered in texture, tension, and mood.

Valentine’s Day offerings will be announced soon!
