Hello, I'm Betty and I'm on a lifelong journey to create beauty through art and floral design. With a penchant for creativity and an eye for detail, I've cultivated my design, artistry, communication, and client-facing skills. I've been fortunate to wear multiple hats throughout my career, excelling in roles that require adaptability, leadership, and a heart for service. My career has been a canvas where I blend these elements seamlessly, turning concepts into living, breathing works of art.
