Some days that means chatting with customers about what's going on in their lives; other days it means fixing a leaky sink, because that's what owning a small business actually looks like. She hand-picks and personally tests everything in the shop, and lights up most when a customer hands her free rein: "I trust you, make something beautiful." Outside the shop, she's usually in her garden, in her kitchen, or in the mountains with her husband and her favorite dog in the world, Stache.

She orders the flowers, runs wedding consults, and keeps the week on track, all while still finding time to build arrangements herself. She's taught yoga since 2018 and grows her own vegetables at home, which explains why her favorite meal is a garden salad with good bread and olive oil.

She found her way to Meraki through a friend's father-in-law at a moment when she was looking for something new, and she's grateful every day. Give her a big, flower-heavy arrangement and she's happiest — the more stems the better. Off the clock, you'll find her skiing at Beaver Mountain with her family, or planning the next trip somewhere new.

She's the one to ask about bud vases, her go-to for brightening someone's day with the smallest possible gesture. After a long shift, her perfect evening is Olivia Dean on the speaker, a glass of wine, and something homemade on the stove. She's mom to a puppy named Billie Jean and has loved tulips since she was little.

Now she's grown from doing "a little of everything" into building larger arrangements, though her true favorite is a floral wrap, which she says still reminds her of getting them for dance recitals as a kid. A Cache Valley native through and through, her perfect Sunday is a rainy day with a book, a journal, and Sunday dinner with people she loves.

She's been building wraps and running deliveries ever since, and she's usually gone by early afternoon to make her rounds. She loves throwing themed parties more than almost anything, and firmly believes popcorn is a daily food group.

She recently got married, and Meraki made her bouquet for the big day, so she knows firsthand what it feels like to be on the other side of a Meraki order. Watercolor is her creative outlet when she's not working.

Stache greets every customer first, keeps a close eye on deliveries, and is locked in a long-running dispute with the mailman that shows no signs of resolving.
