Brianna Smith
"A Love of Floral "
Brianna's love for flowers has been a central piece of her character for her entire life. Growing up on a flower farm in central Pennsylvania, she started her career at a very young age born purely out of her passion for all things flora. When she was just 12 years old she started a day camp program which she aptly named "Blossoms and Bugs," teaching children about plants and animals through nature activities. This formed a unique foundation for both her creativity and aspirations.
"A Passion for Perfection"
Throughout her youth, her creative spirit grew, and her passion intensified and when she was 19 she moved to Boston to attend Rittners School of Floral Design. After graduating she continued pursuing her dream and in just a short time was taken on as lead designer at a couture wedding and event design studio in Boston. Having an express desire to take part in all aspects of her craft, she quickly became well acquainted with power tools, ladders, and lifts as the scale of her designs grew with her imagination.
She left Boston at 25 to further her career and nourish her inner travel bug as a freelance floral designer. Settling in Portland, Oregon, she continued her freelance work in addition to taking on the familiar role of teacher at the Floral Design Institute. As much as Brianna loved living and working in the Pacific Northwest, the east coast was calling her
back.
