I’m Rachel - the founder of ROSIE, a Washington D.C. based floral studio. My work is deeply informed by place. I was born on the Big Island of Hawai‘i and raised between the volcanic Pacific, the sun-soaked quiet of Albuquerque, and the charged energy of Los Angeles. Ferns and lava rock, desert blooms and canyon dusk, jacaranda trees and ocean wind my work is always reaching toward memory, feeling, and human connection.
My work has been featured in spaces as intimate as a kitchen table and as storied as the U.S. Senate. I have been lucky enough to exhibit art inWORD Magazine and at The Happy Lion Gallery in Los Angeles.

Behind the Name
ROSIE is an ode to my younger self. As a little girl I was OBSESSED with the name. My favorite doll was christened with the moniker and I carried her with me until she was in tatters. I also frequently used the name for myself when playing. For my 5th birthday I begged for an “orange girl kitten” that I could name Rosie. My parents indulged me and I had Rosie for 18 years. She was with me through two moves, my first kiss, and college. She knew all my secrets and dreams. What better name for a flower company?
