Getting her start at Thomas Flower Farm in Santa Cruz, Amanda developed a strong connection with the land and sourced her inspiration from the movement, texture, and natural order found in the landscapes of the Santa Cruz Mountains. Since then, Amanda has worked for some of San Francisco's top prop stylists and floral designers, developing an eye for lush, liberated, and elegant arrangements. Sourcing materials locally whenever possible and pulling flowers and foliage from her studio cutting garden, Amanda stays true to her flower farm origins and the slow flower movement. Amanda believes that slowing down and embracing the ephemeral beauty of nature brings people together, creates community, and encourages celebration.
Today, Amanda is sharing flowers through weddings, social events, editorial photoshoots, weekly subscriptions, and special deliveries. By hand-picking each bloom and growing a few blooms herself, Amanda is able to hone in on unique and exclusive colors, shapes, and textures to set the tone of a space. Her design style is described as free and liberated, yet elegant and intentional, often using unique materials that catch the eye and embrace the senses.
A natural extension to Amanda's creative vision, Amanda is also for hire as a prop stylist. Honing in on floral and botanical styling, Amanda creates ethereal settings for commercial and editorial photo shoots.
