Next, our National Rep - Jolene Powell AIFD Jolene Powell Aifd

Jolene is an accomplished floral designer, educator, and industry leader who proudly serves as the AIFD Southern Chapter National Representative, helping connect our Chapter with AIFD leadership at the national level. AIFD American Institute of Floral Designers

She is passionate about floral education and sharing her creativity with others.
An active competitor and educator, she was named the 2025 North Carolina Designer of the Year NC State Florists Association and continues to teach and present throughout the floral industry.

Before pursuing floral design full time, Jolene served as a lieutenant, firefighter, and paramedic — an experience that continues to influence her meaningful work, particularly her custom floral sympathy tributes.

And we hope you are ready for her Fun Fact:
During her fire/rescue career, Jolene delivered not one, but TWO babies!

What a blessing, Jolene! We are sure these babies are forever grateful. And so are we.
