ABOUT ME
MICHELLE BROWN
FLORAL ARTIST + DESIGNER
BASED IN CHICAGO
With over fifteen years in the floral + event industry, flowers have always been a part of my life, from playing in the garden with my mom as a girl, to my very first job in a flower shop fluffing carnations. I love the way flowers can transform a space and evoke emotion.
I am constantly inspired by nature, art, and fashion, and love to bring elements of these into my designs. Whether it's incorporating unexpected elements like fruit or herbs, or playing with shape and line in my arrangements, I always aim to create something that feels fresh and modern.
​
I am continually learning and growing in my craft, always looking for new ways to push boundaries and challenge myself creatively. I am passionate about what I do, and I am grateful for the opportunity to share my love of flowers with others.
