Born and raised in the south suburbs of Chicago, Jason started helping out in his aunt’s flower shop at a young age, where he made his first boutonnieres and corsages by the time he was eight. He continued his passion in the floral field and inevitably grew an interest in the ephemeral beauty of weddings and events. This rich history of working with florals helped propel him into the event industry – crafting florals by hand, shopping in the flower markets, and even growing his own garden, his extensive knowledge makes his creations truly bespoke.

Jason is inspired by the infinite possibility to create. Hearing a client’s vision, then enhancing it, so that it’s better than they could have dreamed is what he excels at and strives for. With over 15 years of professional design experience, Jason excels in large-scale, experiential installations, and ethereal floral arrangements.
