My floristry journey began one birthday when I had a flower arranging book with floristry supplies from my grandparents. Slightly reluctantly I took to the challenge of making my own arrangement only to discover how enjoyable and therapeutic it was.

I left school without much clue as to my future. I ended up enrolling on a floristry course at my local adult education centre, after opening the course guide, landing on floristry and thinking, 'Yes! That sounds fun!' 

After completing levels 1 and 2 and doing some work experience, I went on to work in 3 very different florists gaining over 5 years of experience.

Whilst in one of my job roles, enjoying being innovative, I developed a passion to open my own business. In 2017 Floral Jazz was born!
