I grew up in sunny California, surrounded by orchards, lush gardens, and every plant you could imagine. Gardening wasn’t just a hobby in my family—it was a way of life and one of our favorite ways to spend time together. My mom, a master gardener, taught me not only the beauty of plants but also how much joy they can bring to a home.

After years in the corporate world, I found myself constantly being asked by friends and neighbors to help with their porches, planters, and gardens. What started as a passion quickly grew into something more: Porch & Petal. Now, I get to combine creativity, design, and a love for nature to help others create spaces they’re proud of and truly love coming home to.
