“I think of 1209 Creative as a visual storyteller using floral design as a way to heighten the stories our clients want to share with those around them. I feel privileged that I get to call this my job.”

1209 Creative is known for a detail oriented and editorial approach to wedding and event florals. I see flowers as a way to help curate how a space feels, not just how it looks. Whether subtle or statement making, each design is created to feel intentional, cohesive, and personal to the people at the center of it. Flowers live in a moment, but the atmosphere they create stays in the memories and photographs long after the day is over.
I’m originally from Scottsdale and now based in the Midwest, and I genuinely love being able to design beautiful events in both places. Over the years, I’ve designed weddings and events for clients across Arizona, Wisconsin, and Northern Illinois, ranging from intimate private estates to industrial city venues and destination celebrations. I’ve also designed for editorial events, corporate gatherings, and immersive floral styling projects.
I see floral design as a collaboration and listen closely to what feels authentic to each client and translate that into color, texture, and really good vibes. Every event is designed with attention to detail, individuality, and a touch of editorial edge. I feel so grateful for the amazing clients who trust my creative eye and the talented vendors who help elevate every project. This work feels natural and true to me, and I hope that shows in everything I design.
