While working at the firm, I focused primarily on creating and organizing plant catalogs—researching species, compiling photos, and noting key information like bloom time, water needs, and design applications. I also attended meetings with the principal, assisted with site inspections by taking measurements and notes, and later took on managing the firm’s social media, where I shared project updates and plant features.

I’m currently working on a book about blooming plants in California, driven by my love for plants and my interest on how every season, California is covered in beauty bloomed by the nature around us. Every month, I visit nurseries and trails to document the flowers in bloom. I’ve been creating a detailed catalog sorted by bloom time and plant type, which I am turning into a book with notes and illustrations of each flower.
