I'm a multimedia designer based in New York City. More importantly, I work with flowers and specialize in freestyle ikebana arrangements. I'm a self-taught practitioner who originally studied and arranged flowers in the classic Moribana style.
Since then, I've continued to hone my craft and focus more on creating unorthodox arrangements, hoping to challenge existing ikebana norms and the limits of floral forms.
My goal is to transform usual flowers into unusual arrangements.
Personalized ikebana pieces tailored to a client's unique vision.
Statement ikebana arrangements to light up a space as well as the conversations.
Decorative freestyle ikebana to highlight your products, services and brand.
My approach for ikke requests and projects
Discuss your commission request over a video consultation
Finalize your vision, flower types, materials and techniques
Deliver your finished arrangement the day of or install it on-site
Ask and you shall receive.
ikke is a playful version of ikebana. At least that's what it sounds like to me and playfulness is the emotional quality I intend to channel each time I make an arrangement.
Anyone can start exploring the world of Ikebana and more importantly, the world of flower arrangement is much larger than ikebana alone. You can sign up for introductory workshops in your area and watch a myriad YouTube tutorial videos on the topic.
If you prefer to jump right in, I'd recommend starting at home with a vase or bowl and picking up a small assortment of flowers from your local grocery.
Here's a great reading accompaniment for getting started: Ikebana: The Art of Arranging Flowers.
I review project requests on a first-come, first-serve basis.
If the project is something I'm interested in and available for, I'll reach out to schedule a consultation with the client to discuss timeline, budget and vision and to see if I am the right fit.
