Making it Personal.
When I think of design, the first thought that comes to my mind is, how can I make it personalized. How can I create a piece that is personal and will speak to my client's senses and emotions. I'd like them to recognize certain features in the piece and feel that it was made just for them. It's so rewarding when my clients tell me personal stories that help me creat something that allows them to relay the stories to others. One such piece is this boutonnière I designed in honour of the grooms late mother. She was an accomplished seamstress and loved music. Also his father in-law is an avid Orchid collector.



I made this arrangement to be given in memories of Morocco. My inspirations were colours of Moroccan mosaic tile and the beautiful scents of a Moroccan courtyard in full bloom.
