WORK WITH ME
I have always been drawn to beauty — not the loud kind, but the kind that unfolds slowly. The kind that is shaped by time, place, and memory.
Narcissus & Echo grew from that instinct. From a desire to create work that feels alive, intentional, and deeply rooted — florals that do more than decorate a space, but help shape how a moment is felt and remembered.
Much of my childhood was spent between worlds — summers in southern Europe, surrounded by old stone, garden paths, and a way of living where beauty felt effortless and woven into everyday life. That early exposure to craft, culture, and rhythm still informs my work today, alongside a background in fashion, visual merchandising, and creative direction.

About Me
This work is an invitation:
to slow down,
to notice,
to gather meaningfully,
and to get lost — if only for a moment — in the beauty of being present.
I design with a reverence for nature’s quiet authority. Seasonality is not a constraint, but a guide. Flowers are chosen for their movement, texture, and character — allowed to exist as they are, rather than forced into perfection. Each design becomes a response to its setting, its season, and the people it’s created for.
Motherhood has further shaped the way I work. As a mother to two young girls, I’m deeply aware of how fleeting time can be — how moments pass quickly, and how the smallest details often hold the most meaning. That awareness has softened my approach, grounding it in presence, patience, and intention. I design for feeling first — for the way a space invites pause, connection, and a sense of belonging.
Grounded by nature (and unmistakably an earth sign), I’m drawn to work that feels tactile and honest — designs that feel rooted rather than styled, expressive yet restrained. There is always a balance at play: abundance and simplicity, romance and structure, intuition and craft.
Narcissus & Echo is a modern floral studio established in 2022, serving weddings, events, and gatherings that value atmosphere as much as aesthetics. My role is not simply to provide florals, but to collaborate — to listen closely, interpret thoughtfully, and create something that feels true to both the story being told and the place it unfolds.
In ancient mythology, Narcissus and Echo are bound by a quiet tension — between beauty and longing, presence and remembrance. Their story lingers not for its tragedy, but for its poetry: a meditation on what draws us in, and what stays with us after the moment has passed.
Narcissus & Echo was born from this balance. From the appreciation of beauty in its purest form, and the desire for it to be felt — to echo through a space, a moment, a memory. Our work lives in that in-between: where flowers are not simply admired, but experienced. Where design is less about perfection, and more about atmosphere, emotion, and intention.
Each arrangement is a conversation between nature and intuition. Guided by the seasons and shaped by hand, we allow flowers, form, and setting to move together organically — creating environments that feel lived-in, thoughtful, and deeply personal. These are moments meant to linger, long after the flowers have faded — carried quietly, like an echo, into memory.
