And in a cathartic twist of fate, I’m back in a historic building. Always, the dream of returning to my first love, flowers, remained with me.īuds Blooms and Bad Asses marks my return.

While everyone in the city slept, I found myself moved beyond mere wakefulness surrounded by flowers.Īt Oakland’s YWCA, I got my start in the business, nestled in one of the historic building’s “fishbowls” where small business owners kept shop and showed off their wares in the big, round windows facing the street. Getting a cup of hot chocolate was the highlight of my kids’ morning, and mine was experiencing the bright lights, the burst of colors, and the intoxicating fragrance of so many varieties of flowers. In the early hours of the morning, I’d bundle up my babies, taking them along for a trip to the bustling San Francisco Flower Market.
My story began in Northern California, home to the iconic Haight-Ashbury, a hub of creativity and revolution, and a region that stirred up my passion for floral design.
I live by the philosophy of Brazilian-born, award winning floral artist Zita Elze who said, “Basically, I do not think about color or texture-I work with an emotion instead, a feeling inside myself or one that I experience when talking to a client.
