ABOUT

Through flowers we express gratitude, sympathy, and joy in the every day. I am honored to be a part of these expressions through floral design.

Many O+G Stems arrangements are made for community events and organizations: Numerous in-kind donations have been made to the Piedmont Education Foundation, The Cancer League, Girls’ Scouts of America, National Charity League, and more.

I arrange for several private homes and celebrations, provide pop-up sales at local spots and events, and lead a seasonal floral design workshop for Piedmont Adult School. Corporate clients include Pixar Animation Studios, Claremont Country Club, and Yellow Door Montclair. I also am a proud exhibitor at Bouquets to Art, an annual floral exposition fundraiser for the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco.

My professional background is steeped in work with creatives and perfectionists, who remain daily inspirations. I’ve had a multifaceted career rooted in storytelling and service, first in print journalism, then film, and now, nature. I live with my family in Piedmont, CA, and grew up on the Central Coast amid strawberry fields and oak trees. I find myself there frequently; it remains my home away from home.
