My Story
Introducing Rachael, Floral Designer at Plattsburgh Flower Market. Rachael joined the team with a lifelong dream of becoming a florist — and the formal training to back it up. She brings fresh energy, a modern design perspective, and a photographer's eye for beauty to every piece she touches.
Rachael completed a dedicated floral certificate program in college, where she built a strong technical foundation in design principles, care and handling, and the mechanics that make arrangements both beautiful and long-lasting. That education, paired with her natural creativity and meticulous attention to detail, shows in her work: clean, thoughtful, and full of personality.
If you've ever admired the gorgeous layouts of fresh-cut flowers in our coolers, you have Rachael to thank. She's responsible for curating and merchandising our single stem bar — rotating the lineup frequently so there's always something new to inspire you. Whether you're dreaming up a monochromatic bouquet or playing with a bold polychromatic mix, the care she puts into every stem makes it easy to try your hand at creating your own. Her beautiful merchandising turns our cooler into a destination, not just a display.
What sets Rachael apart is her versatility. She's just as comfortable collaborating on a large event prep as she is taking ownership of a custom everyday arrangement. Teammates know her as eager, dependable, and endlessly curious — the first to ask "how is this constructed?" or "what if we tried it this way?" Customers feel that same energy when she's helping at the counter: her enthusiasm for flowers is genuinely contagious.
Beyond the design bench, Rachael's keen eye for photography and composition helps the shop showcase its work. She understands how to capture color, texture, and emotion in a photo — a skill that's invaluable in today's visual, online-first world.
With her formal training, fresh perspective, and commitment to excellence, Rachael is more than "the newest member." She's already a valued part of the Plattsburgh Flower Market team, and a designer customers are starting to ask for by name.
