Kat's Floral Design, LLC

Flowers have been part of my soul since before I could name them. One of my earliest memories is playing in the dirt beside my grandmother's Sterling Silver rose bushes. In kindergarten, a florist visited my class and showed us a puppy dog arrangement made entirely from mums. I went home that day and told my mom: I want to be a florist.It took a writing career and a few more years to get there, but I got there. I trained at Golden West College's School of Floral Design, earned my California Certified Florist (CCF) designation through the California State Floral Association, and studied under such industry greats as Phil Rulloda, Hitomi Gilliam, Per Benjamin, and Max Van de Sluis. In July 2017, I was inducted into the American Institute of Floral Design (AIFD) - one of the highest honors in the industry, and something I'm genuinely proud of.When I'm not arranging flowers, you'll often find me curled up with a coffee and a good book, usually with our dog Mocha Bean nearby. I'm a hockey lover and a devoted LA Kings fan and my wife Kylie roots for the Anaheim Ducks, which makes for lively game nights, but somehow we make it work. My 18-year-old son Max, who built this website himself, is a coder extraordinaire, has a wicked slap shot, and can solve a Rubik's cube faster than anyone I've ever met. I'm a lucky person.
