I've always been a fan of originality and being true to one's self.   Growing up, I remember my mom would buy me cute bow shoes but what I really wanted was cool sneakers!   While my friends were wearing dresses, I was wearing probably a t-shirt I got from a local artist or anything tweaked to my own style (but I wore cute dresses too :) ). I've dyed my hair probably every color you can imagine. The point here is that I've never been afraid to try new things or to do things differently from the rest.

​

During my 20's, while still attending college, I worked for one of largest greeting card retailers in the United States, Papyrus. During that time, I also started to make handmade jewelry to sell at art fairs. Around that time, I also started my very first company, Blast MakeupⓇ. I had the honor to work with some amazing people and to be part of many important events, from weddings to Fashion Week NYC.  That lead me to work for Reed Exhibitions, the world's leading events business.

​

Enjoying and growing from all these life experiences, I've always had that entrepreneurial spirit, so I took a leap and moved to Florida to start my own company, Verano Events, where I currently help couples with their wedding plans. 

​

While working in the hospitality industry, I took notice to how flowers not only can transform any space, but the positive effect that they unconsciously have on people around them.  Once I discovered the power of flowers, I wanted to start gifting creative floral arrangements and chic gifts to friends and family. But I never could find a place that offered both; flowers and gifts that resonate with my style! So I started creating my own.

​

That's how Joyful Blooms was born.  We are a creative online flower shop - with a local private studio where we love to create our contemporary flower designs.

​

I genuinely love what I do! I'll be so happy to serve you and share with you my background and passion for flowers, nature, fashion and art!
