designer / florist / grower

Kate spent her earliest years in the lush fields of the English countryside, in the Cotswolds, and now calls the golden hills of Northern California home. As a journalist and writer, she’s inspired by the language of flowers and their central role in our most sacred rituals and ceremonies. She is committed to sustainable floristry practices and currently learning to grow flowers in a plot at her local community garden in Berkeley. She also writes a biweekly-ish newsletter, “Making Sense,” about coming home to our senses. She reflects on the history, literature, and culture of flowers and the senses, and interviews artists about their sensory worlds, making them a bouquet inspired by the conversation.
