Karina Marie: Founder, Creative Director
Karina Marie’s love for plants and flowers bloomed at a young age through her first job at a local garden center and is now the driving factor behind her successful business.
“I spent my days outside caring for the flowers and plants, replenishing skids of soil, and talking to customers about their own gardens and landscape plans. My love for the outdoors is one of the reasons why I decided to pursue a career in floral design. I love the fact that I get to work with my hands while working with beautiful living plants and flowers. This work allows me to fuel a creative outlet and get lost in time.”
Karina is known for her energetic and outgoing personality, her strong work ethic, her love of sports, snowboarding, travel and spending time outdoors.
