About

Some things find you early and never really let go.

I grew up watching my grandparents Bill and Evelyn create beauty in everything they touched — the way they set a table, tended a garden, made a house feel like the best place on earth to be. Without knowing it, they planted something in me. A belief that how we live matters. That beauty is not an indulgence — it's a necessity.

That belief led me into the arts. Into painting, into flowers, into making furniture and styling spaces and eventually into French Buckets — a floral studio I founded in 2001 and built over 26 years into something I'm deeply proud of. Along the way my work found its way into Architectural Digest and Martha Stewart Weddings, onto the covers of Ceremony Magazine, and into collaborations with brands like Chanel, Louis Vuitton and Anthropologie. I hold a BFA in Fine Art with a concentration in painting from Cal State Fullerton.

But honestly — none of that is the point.

The point is this: I want to spend my life doing the things I love. Painting. Making flowers. Creating clothing. Setting a beautiful table. Living a nurtured, intentional life with my family and sharing everything I know with anyone who wants to learn.

Bill & Evelyn is that life made into a brand. Named for my grandparents — the two people who first showed me what a beautiful life looks like.

Welcome. I'm so glad you're here.
