Shannon Hagen, Creative DirectorI've always been creative, but I haven't always worked with flowers. I spent many years in the corporate world before beginning my flower journey. After studying design at the Floral Design Institute I knew I had found my passion.
As a Northwest native I grew up on the Olympic Peninsula, surrounded by old growth forests, rivers, and mountains. Our yard was filled with flower beds, fruit and nut trees, vegetable gardens and berry patches. My mother was always working on some type of gardening, sewing, or crafting project, Her creative spirit influenced me greatly and fostered my interest and appreciation for nature and the subtle art of handcrafted design. I believe in supporting American grown flowers and sustainable farming. Many of the organic elements I use are hand-picked from local, seasonal markets grown by local flower farmers right here in the Pacific Northwest. Impeccable design begins with quality product. I am proud to support local flower farmers and value the impact they have on the environment and our local economy. |
