I've often heard the phrase "nature versus nurture", and wondered if talent could be passed down or learnt?

I grew up watching my mother, spend countless hours creating dresses for brides and bridesmaids, helping them realise their special day.

Thanks to my mother, I got to see a different side to weddings. In a way she "arranged" my first steps into floristry.

Happy Place Flowers is a unique, personal florist, based in Johannesburg. Before I started my company, I  worked in advertising and have always known that my creative background could be used to create special moments in people's lives.

I have always loved the idea of working with my hands and beautiful objects and I've started with flowers, but my vision for the company is about creating happy memories. This is why I followed my dream to be a florist and hopefully a defender of happiness.

I am a living cliché of, "if you love what you do, you will never work a day in your life." Hence the name Happy Place...
