The landscape is shifting (but don’t panic).

If you know my work, you know I’ve never been just one thing. My floral designs have always been about more than just flowers—it’s about how the pieces work together to create something bigger. And now, I’m adding a new layer to my own landscape.

I’m not replacing, pivoting, or walking away from what I’ve built. I’m expanding it. Coaching is stepping into the frame, not as a departure, but as a fresh stem in the installation. A new tile in the mosaic. Another way I help people see the bigger picture—whether it’s in their work, creativity, or everyday life.

I’m breaking it all down over on Substack. Come read, subscribe, and see where this new path leads.

Want to learn how to create floral art that stops people in their tracks? I’m back for my 4th year at the Northwest Flower and Garden Festival, and this time we’re going BIG (because playing small just isn’t in my DNA).

Join me on February 21, 2025, at 1:30 PM on the DIY Stage for Large Scale Floral Installations.

This FREE class (with your festival ticket) is all about breaking down the basics and giving you the confidence to go bold and create something unforgettable with your floral designs.

Step out of your comfort zone, try something new, and come hang out with me—I’ll make sure you leave inspired, maybe a little braver, and definitely with a few good laughs. Let’s make some magic together!

I’m stepping into a new space—one that feels more open, intentional, and yes, just a little vulnerable 😬

I’ve just launched my Substack… and yes, it’s FREE.

❓Why?
Because as much as I love Instagram, it’s not always the vibe for sharing everything: my work, my thoughts, my life, and all the stories that make up what I do. Let’s face it, the grid is for curated moments, not the messy brilliance of real life.

So, I made a space where I can go deeper. A space where my creativity, lived experiences, and lessons learned along the way get to shine. Substack is where I’ll share the things I can’t quite fit into a caption.

🤨What’s in it for you?
- Business updates and announcements (you’ll hear it there FIRST)
- A closer look at my creative process and what keeps me inspired
- Stories and insights I don’t share anywhere else
- Real, honest writing about who I am and what fuels me

📚Why you’ll want to read it:
If you like being in the know, love a good story, or just want a peek into what’s next, this is where it’s all happening.

Community has always been important to me, and in a world that feels more disconnected than ever, this is my way of creating something real and meaningful with all of you.

The link is in my bio—come see what I’ve been up to and subscribe if you’d like.

You’re going to love it.

Newsflash: I can’t sketch...
…but I make it work.

Who needs perfect drawings when you’ve got big ideas, flowers, and a clear vision?

The scribbles make sense to me because I know exactly what I’m doing. Intuition leads the way, every (damn) time.

10/21/2024

I’ve been diving into using AI to help me be more efficient so it’s learning all about me little by little.

I figured it was time to ask AI what we are (in a relationship? FWB?) and I actually love what it sent back 💕

Does any of this align with what you know about me?

07/19/2024

I’m not even sure where to start.

As of an hour ago, my Instagram grid is empty –

– and while I’ve been slowly creeping to that destination, I ripped off the bandaid today because it felt like the right time.

Things are going to look a bit different. I’m charting a new course and taking this business that I have grown, fed, and nurtured along with me. But before I set out, I needed to hit reset.

The beauty of clearing my grid meant I had to go back to the beginning, and it gave me a chance to honor where I started and meander through the meadow of the in-between until I reached where I stand now.

I’m not mad at it because it was all part of finding my way, but in the beginning, I mimicked what I thought other people wanted, sought outside validation, and absorbed the styles of the people I came in contact with or admired.

Then, all of a sudden, I found myself.

So many of you have been on this ride with me for so long —THANK YOU.

You all have been the best incubator.

If you see your wedding or work has disappeared from my feed, it’s important that you know it’s not because we didn’t create something beautiful together. It’s just time for me to flip the page and the script.

It’s about what YOU need.

That’s the idea with all the services I offer. They can be spilt out or bundled up in whatever way helps ensure you have the day you envision.

Take what you need, leave what you don’t.

Oh, and if you aren’t sure what you need, just reach out! I’d be happy to have a quick (no obligation) chat with you to see if we are a match!

Chat soon!

Asked and answered.

Here are my ins and outs for this year and, really, going forward.

As always this pure opinion so DO YOU.

Take what resonates and leave what does not.

BUT, do you have a favorite?

The blog is back!

Blogging is hard y’all! The selecting and organizing the pics, the writing the text, the SEO optimizing, and the posting. Goodness!

But she’s back in all her glory! Featuring three stunning weddings.

Also, I’m going to try to blog on a more consistent basis so if there’s something you want me to share whether it’s a wedding, inspo, or advice….share it in the comments below or DM me because I’m game!

I hate saying “link in bio” but how else would you know how to find it? 🤷🏾‍♀️

The 1st of the month AND a Friday?!?

That certainly calls for an intro. So I’m throwing it back with five (of the most random) facts about…ME. Some you may know, some you may not…

1️⃣ I was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. We moved to WA when I was about 9 years old, but my mom moved back to the Midwest about ten years ago and I’m the only remaining PNW’r left here.

2️⃣ I am a Manifestor when it comes to my Human Design type/chart: TLDR: I’m here to get sh*t done….Some more facts: Manifestors make up roughly 8% of the population, Manifestors are here to initiate and make the first move without needing permission or buy-in from anyone, Manifestors thrive with freedom and autonomy, Manifestors are meant to trust what they are being drawn to and to be the leaders of their own lives…and so much more. Google it! It’s so interesting!

3️⃣ I didn’t go to college 🤷🏾‍♀️ it just wasn’t for me and I wanted to start working right away. That strategy doesn’t work for everyone, but it worked for me!! I have a 20-ish year career as an administrative professional. Add me on LinkedIn!

4️⃣ I played tennis for 15 years in lessons/rec leagues/school teams…my mom has been a lifelong tennis player and taught me. However in Jr High, I decided I wanted to dance (much to the chagrin of my parents), but that worked out too because…

5️⃣…I was a professional cheerleader in the NFL for 8 years. I was a squad leader, went to one Super Bowl (we lost and I got exhaustion…whew), and was selected as a Pro Bowl cheerleader as well. Cheering taught me so much. It is honestly the one job I had that I still pull lessons from today. More about that soon…

Did you learn anything new or did you already know some of these?

8 is great…
…and so is Lu!

This girl is so special to me. The boldest of my kids. The one who will strike out, try something new, and make a million friends along the way.

I know everyone thinks their kid is the bees knees, but his kid…she is IT. The world is her oyster and we’re just enjoying watching her take it on with all the love and kindness that she gives along the way.

Keep going kid. We are so proud.

Let’s call out the elephant in the room.

These pics make motherhood look easy, fun, and it is…sometimes. It’s also messy, overwhelming, exhausting, selfless, and terrifying. The multitudes simply do not end.

It’s all the things, but just like life it’s the dichotomy that makes the journey beautiful.

Wishing all you mothers - biological, adoptive, guardian, caretaking and other - a day of reflection, love, and appreciation.

For those missing your mothers and motherly figures, I hope you still feel their everlasting love and that the energy and lessons they gave you envelope you on this day.

🖤

Joy, flowers, and a little spice 🌶️…that’s it. That’s the recipe.

P.S. Sincerity is the most important ingredient…

📣 Screaming it from the rooftops!

I’m so happy to share that has chosen me as one of their Ones to Watch in 2023 along with 25 other amazing, talented, and fierce people.

Want to know my favorite part? They split us into 5 categories and I landed in “The Realist” category which they described as “…down to earth cheerleaders [that] are disrupting the status quo for the better”

BIG FACTS.

Shoutout to for the wonderful words (and photo) that are giving me all the feels.

There is nothing better than being seen and I’m feeling that and then some today!

Words are hard… …but hanging with you all and talking flowers? Easy. Huge thanks to the @nwfgs for another year of floral fun, to everyone who attended my seminar for your great questions (and even better laughs), and to @carlyhenderson_ and @studio13onfox for helping spread the flower love even further. Already dreaming up something bigger for next time. Same time next year? #KHancockEvents #SeattleFlorist #SeattleWeddings #PNWFlorals #FloralDesign #WeddingInspiration

….and 100% wouldn’t have it any other way.

Wallflower? Couldn’t be me… New website alert! Finally, a floral website that has some soul, some personality. It’s alive, breathing, and completely mine—intuitive, evocative, and unafraid. Some of you will love it. Some of you won’t. That’s the thing about art—it’s meant to make you FEEL something. Floral design should hit like a great piece of art, not just blend into the background. That’s exactly what this site—and my work/life—is about. Take a look. Stay a while. Or don’t. But if you want flowers that actually say something, you know where to find me. 💅🏾

I’m breaking up with wedding planning. It’s not you, it’s me (Okay, it’s kinda you too...). After taking the year off last year, full wedding planning and design just isn’t “sparking joy” anymore. So, I’m focusing on what lights me up most: the flowers. This is officially a floral-forward business, where blooms are the star and design is the extras sitting by the draft services table. 📌Here’s What’s Staying: - Full floral design for weddings? Absolutely. - Floral art in unexpected places? Oh, for sure. - Collaborations with bold brands and creatives? Yes, please. 👋🏾Say Goodbye To: - Full wedding planning—(except for 1-2 truly special clients or projects a year....she’s picky y’all). 👀 For my raw feelings about this (and maybe a few laughs), check out my Substack (link in bio). My new offerings? They will be front and center here soon. 🚪Also, you know what they say when you close one door, you open up the pathway to another…is that a hint? Only time will tell…

Let me explain…

1. We need some depth and dimension (and maybe a little fun) babes… 2. Your bouquet should not be upstaging YOU. 3. It’s giving awkward. It’s giving anti-social. It’s giving exiled. 4. I will not be explaining myself any further 🤣 #floralartistry #seattleflorist #bespokefloraldesign #breakthemold #floraldesign #artsyfloral

It’s almost the three year anniversary of one of my favorite ceremony setups. …and that’s amplified even more by the fact that this was NOT the original plan! Sometime nature natures y’all and you don’t get what you order (this is also why you should hire a florist whose vision and style you trust…but I digress) But that day the floral Gods were looking out for me because they had so much of this beautiful smokebush in the cooler. And tbh, I like it WAY better than the original plan. The happiest of accidents!

It’s time to say goodbye to the studio. Not because I won’t be in business any longer but because a business is a living, breathing, always-in-motion thing, and, well, mine is shape-shifting a bit. I’ve been mulling over this change for months, and honestly, I’ve held on to the studio out of fear — fear of loss, optics, and the hypothetical. It felt scary to jump in, and it feels just as scary to leap out, but I’ve known what I wanted to do all along—what makes my artist soul sing, what puts me in the “temple of my life,” what drives me to create with abandon… From a bird’s-eye view, the studio is a puzzle piece that doesn’t fit anywhere right now. Many of you may be curious about what’s next regarding space, and yes, there are plans underway that I’ll share soon. For now, let’s raise a toast to a space that has nurtured my business and me for the last two years… …and while this may seem like an ending, it’s just the beginning. —— Thank you @ruby.chambers.94 for giving me a place to belong in your beautiful building and for being one of my cheerleaders

Level 43. I’ll admit that 42 had me living in a bit of a scarcity era, but 43? 43 is all about that abundance, baby. I’m redefining how I look at things this year, observing my own thoughts, and paying attention to what does and doesn’t serve me any longer. Oh, and I’m diving deep into the gratefulness pool. Jump on in, the water’s fiiiine. 🏊🏽‍♀️ So, same time next year? See you then!

…and honestly you’re better off for it 😎 #khancockdesign #seattleweddings #weddingflorist #blackflorist #SeattleWeddingPlanner #seattleflorist #tacomaflorist

Some of the best days of my life are earmarked because I spent them with you and being a mom to you both has given me more than I’ll ever need. Happy Mother’s Day, folks! Sending you loads of WHATEVER you need on this day and beyond.

So make it blockbuster.
