Florals found me. I didn’t chase them, they just came to me, serendipitously, and we fell madly in love with each other.

I first saw New York during my Au Pair year and something in me just knew. The architecture, the pace, the openness of the people — it had a magnetic quality I had never encountered anywhere else. Years later, when the opportunity came to go back, I did not hesitate.

I spent over a decade freelancing across New York and Los Angeles — two cities, two completely different energies, both unforgettable. New York gave me rigour, ambition, and access to some of the most discerning clients and extraordinary spaces I have ever worked in. Los Angeles gave me something else entirely — a looser, sun-drenched creativity and a different way of seeing. Both shaped how I work today.

What I loved most was never just the flowers. It was the whole world that surrounds them. The changing locations. The way an empty venue transforms over hours of work into something that stops people in the doorway. The moment a wedding comes together after days of calculating, sourcing, designing, and building — and you step back and see it whole for the first time. That feeling never gets old.

It still does not.

I work with other creatives often and that collaborative energy is something I genuinely thrive on. The best decisions on a set are sometimes made in the moment, sparked by the energy in the room. I have learned to leave space for that.

Returning to Berlin, I brought everything with me — the craft, the perspective, and the hunger for work that means something. My studio serves clients across Germany and Europe, from private residences and boutique hotels to Fashion Week productions and editorial sets. Every project, whether a limited edition print or a large-scale installation, begins with the same question: what should this feel like when it is finished?

Like fate, again, another art found me: photography.

The magic of working with flowers is that any piece or installation I create, is ephemeral. Through photography I found a way to preserve each piece I create. Through photography I am able to elevate a physical floral installation into an eternal print on a wall.

Until today I keep exploring new ways to work with flowers, new forms of working with my material, new way of realizing beautiful installations and magical event design. I’m an eternal optimist and love finding creative solutions. I love working with clients that come with visions and I love a good creative challenge.

My Philosophy

My Philosophy

Before I put a flower somewhere in an arrangement, I give myself a tiny moment to study it. It only takes a millisecond - but it is what makes any piece perfect.

To see the shapes of its petals, the direction it naturally leans to, the way the light falls onto it and creates its colours. To me, each minuscule bloom is a piece of art on its own. It has its character, its individual colouring. Before I give it its final place in composition, I look at it closely – where would it compliment the final piece the best. Step by step, bloom by bloom I sculpt the final installation. And even when I get stung by a thorn for the hundredth time that day, that’s nothing against that one extraordinary moment when I’m finally able to say: This is finished. And I love it.

My Style

My pieces are lush, abundant, and full of texture. I love to work with lots of blooms and create modern and sculptural installations that are almost a mesmerising experience because there is just so much to enjoy.

I create lots of layers and motion and I love to use the whole space that’s available to me. From the bottom to the very top of a room – when I’m immersed into my work, you’ll often find me crawling on floors and climbing the highest ladders, just to make sure that everything is in place.
