"When I first started in the floral industry, I was trained at a classical flower school where everything had a strict 'right' and 'wrong' way of creating. But over the years, I’ve learned that while techniques are essential, true creativity comes from embracing your own unique style. I’ve built this course based on my personal experiences—so you can learn the fundamentals while feeling empowered to experiment, trust your instincts, and design with confidence. Floral design should be as personal and expressive as you are, and there's always room to explore and grow."
