I entered the wedding and event industry more than 20 years ago after leaving the corporate world. Three years ago, I founded Evergreen Designs, a concierge floral and event design company focused on creating elevated, personalized experiences. Giving back is at the core of our work. We are proud to support organizations such as the AHA, Home for Healing and Our House.
The moment I saw how something I created could completely transform a space and make people feel something. It feels natural and deeply fulfilling.
To trust myself enough to step outside of my comfort zone. Some of my biggest opportunities came from moments that felt uncertain, but believing in myself made all the difference.
This field has pushed me beyond design into entrepreneurship, where I’ve learned to trust my voice, make decisions and grow something meaningful.
Co-creating and launching the Diamonds & Studs program benefiting Home for Healing, watching an idea turn into something that’s already impacted dozens of students through service education and giving back.
As a lifeguard, I learned responsibility, quick decision-making and how to stay calm under pressure, skills that still guide me in both business and life.
It’s not just playing with flowers. It’s running a business, managing details and creating meaningful experiences all at once.
Balancing the demands of entrepreneurship while raising a family, being a present wife and staying deeply rooted in philanthropy.
I truly love what I do. No two days are the same, and I get to be part of some of the most joyful and emotional moments in people’s lives.
Intentionally spending quality time with my family. In the middle of busy seasons, they keep me grounded and remind me what truly matters.
Take a step back and lean on my husband Ben. He is my calm, my steady voice, and he helps me gain perspective so I can move forward with intention.
