ABOUT

Through flowers we express gratitude for friendship, sympathy for loss, and joy in the every day. We mark life’s milestones and take notice of its littlest moments as well. We celebrate nature’s strength and beauty. I am honored to be a small part of these recognitions through floral design.

Olive+Grace Stems was founded in 2020 when the Covid-19 pandemic kept many of us indoors. In an effort to bring the outside in, I began filling every corner of our home with flowers. Before long, I began making bouquets for friends and family. And then, for their friends and families.

Today, many O+G Stems arrangements are made for community events and organizations. In-kind donations have been a part of Piedmont Education Foundation’s Spring Fling Gala, The Cancer League’s Spring Soiree, the Pajaro Valley nonprofit Agri-Culture’s annual Down to Earth Women’s Luncheon, and more. Corporate clients include Claremont Country Club, Pixar Animation Studios, and Yellow Door Montclair. I also arrange for several private clients for their homes and personal events.

My professional background is steeped in work with creatives and perfectionists, who remain daily inspirations. I, my husband and our two girls live in Piedmont, CA, though I grew up on the Central Coast and split my time there frequently. It is my true home away from home.
