My journey into floristry didn’t start in a flower shop. It started outdoors… in wide open spaces, along bush tracks, and among the native flora of Australia that always felt more like home than any polished bouquet ever could.

Over the years, I found myself drawn not to perfect roses or peonies, but to the texture of banksias, the movement of eucalyptus, and the grounded, wild beauty of what grows naturally here. The kind of flowers that tell a story of place, season, and resilience.

The Native Girl began as a quiet rebellion against fast floristry, against imported blooms, floral foam, and waste. I wanted to do things differently. To work slowly, seasonally, and sustainably. To design with intention. And to celebrate the natural rhythm of things, not force them.

Now, I focus on creating small, thoughtful floral experiences: elopements, intimate events, dinner parties, and property florals that feel considered and connected. Every piece is designed with locally grown, seasonal flowers — many of them native — sourced directly from trusted growers and sometimes even foraged with permission.

This work is deeply personal to me. It’s creative, grounded, and full of purpose. And if you value beauty with roots, you’re in the right place.
