Mentoring
Private Mentoring
For individuals who want a more personalized, bespoke curriculum, we offer one-on-one (or small group) private mentoring sessions. The topics for each session are driven by the attendee(s), and can span anything from floral design coaching; flower market shopping; to proposal-writing; to other aspects of a flower business. These intimate sessions allow us to go deep into any topic of interest, with lots of opportunity for question and answer and hands-on demonstration and practice. In the spirit of community over competition, all topics are fair game and I do my best to be as open and transparent as possible. In addition, all student work will be photographed by me and shared with you for personal use. As much as I love our bigger workshops, I find a lot of joy and fulfillment in these smaller one-on-one settings too. These sessions really give me the chance to share my thinking process, and provide more specific feedback and instruction to the attendee. And most importantly, I really get to know each attendee and even form new friendships with each of you.
I really look forward to meeting you and learning about your needs and how we can help you tackle them. To schedule a session, please submit the form at the bottom of this page, and I'll follow-up in a few days to discuss the agenda and other details.

Florist Roundtable
During any given week, I receive a lot of emails and DMs from other florists asking questions about floral mechanics, techniques, and even business things like pricing and timelines. If I had time, I would love to correspond. However there has been a huge volume lately, and I just can’t answer everyone! As creatives and business owners, we wear so many hats, so communication is usually not the one that gets the highest priority, even though I love doing it! With that said and in the spirit of building community, I want to start hosting a monthly florist meetup. I think this new forum will allow me to answer all your questions in real-time, while also enabling the organic formation of a flower community for us to exchange in dialogue, share stories and learnings, and not feel alone.
I envision us meeting for an hour or two once a month in a small, intimate setting to start. This allows all participants to talk and get their questions answered. I encourage all participants to join with an open and collaborative spirit, and that we learn and share together. I’m sure I have a lot to learn from all of you, just as you have much to share with each other. Think of it as part peer mentoring, part therapy, part socializing session. This is a free resource to everyone. You're welcome to bring snacks or drink to share with the group. If you are Interested in joining our florist roundtable - please fill out this form. I look forward to hearing from you!
