The name Ribbon and Twine came from the concept of embracing the duality of life. Over the years, the name has spoken to me more and more. Any floral designer will agree that what we do is so much more than play with flowers. While I love that I get to touch each beautiful stem that comes my way, I equally love the feeling of sweat after a long wedding day. Overalls covered in dirt with a fresh flower in my hat is everything. Nature is both beautiful and chaotic, and I strive to reflect that in my designs.

Embracing the duality of life through the art of floral design.

the approach

I have a degree from CCSF in Retail Floristry and Design and have studied with industry greats such as Susan McLeary of Passionflower Sue and Kiana Underwood of Tulipina Design. I worked my way up, starting at a small shop in the Mission District of San Francisco. Eventually, I moved to Colorado, where I spent a summer assisting a wedding and event florist working on large-scale events all over the state. I fell in love with wedding and event work. In 2016 I started Ribbon and Twine Floral as a small studio specializing in events. Fast forward to the present day, I am back in Sonoma County, where I was born and raised, this time with my husband and our son, happily living in Petaluma.

You can now find my floral business at Water Street Studios, a place I created when looking for a design studio and finding one way too big but also way to special to pass up. The space is a continuous work in progress as we work with the city on permitting but the vision is to create a location that can be shared with the community.

For now, you can find me in the front with a small area of fresh florals, lush plants and curated retail from local artisans. I encourage you to come by and check it out either by appointment or whenever the garage door is up.
