I started working with Gail at the San Francisco Flower Market buying flowers for her shop... I was 8 years old then, and I would go with her at 4a.m. in the morning to shop what the cut flower farmers picked day prior.... then by 7 a.m. I'd be off to school and go back to her shop latet to help clean the flowers. I fell into the career of being a floral designer by accident, and ended up spending 35 years in the industry...to result in being a production artist in an event planner for ceremony occasions.
