A bit about me…
…but just a wee bit because that’s not why you’re here, you’re here for the flowers. So I’ll be relatively brief… but you can just stop reading if you wanted!
I’m a newish florist and have only been working as such for just over a year, but I have well and truly fallen head over heels for the industry. Flowers have always been one of my favourite things to draw, look at and take photos of, so being surrounded by them is actually a bit of a dream!
By nature, I am a creative person – I love nothing more than making, drawing and designing, so I figured that combining my love of flowers with that desire to make was a sure-fire winner. It’s so hard to find a job that you love enough to be involved with it day in, day out and actually want to get out of bed in the morning for, but I truly believe wholeheartedly that I have found that with floristry and floral design.
How I got here (if you do want to read more)
I decided to take the plunge and book myself onto Level 1 Floristry at Tyne Met College which started in May 2018. After the first week, I was pretty much hooked and knew floristry was going to be my future.
So, I enrolled in the Level 2 course, which I completed, achieving a distinction and so it began – qualified florist. The next thing on the agenda was finding work in a flower shop and continuing onto Level 3!
I was lucky enough to get the chance to work in an amazing flower shop in Newcastle upon Tyne (my work experience shop from level 2) and work freelance for a brilliant wedding florist while I studied. I found that I was learning more and more by working in the floristry industry.
I am now a qualified level 3 florist – completed with a distinction – and working from my home in Wallsend, Newcastle upon Tyne!
If you read all the way to the bottom, thank you so much, it’s very much appreciated.
