This floral designer also has her own Austin, Texas based floral design studio – Remi + Gold.
Favorite Memory at The Branch?
My favorite memory at the Branch always consists of way too much coffee and designing late into the night with some of Dallas’ most talented floral designers. Debby is truly one of the most inspirational designers in the industry and takes so much pride in her craft as she should! I love the energy that she ignites into our late night design sessions and even though it’s much harder work than most people would ever expect the reward is so BIG! Getting to see the designs come to life is my favorite part of working at the Branch!
How did you get into floral design?
I always loved playing in my grandma’s garden and grew up in a small farming town so I always appreciated nature and beauty! I was 17 and in college when I first decided to intern for an event designer and just got hooked! I moved to Las Vegas and later Los Angeles to pursue my career as an event planner and designer and then moved to Texas to take on a role as the lead Floral Designer for an event-planning firm. I now call Austin home and am lucky to be in a career that gives me so much passion! [Read more…]
