EclecticEssence

I'm an artist from Braddock, PA, and I started from humble beginnings with nothing but a passion for making people smile and bringing a little softness into their day.

I love everything artistic — mixed media, vision boards, arranging bouquets, DJing, a cool hairstyle, face painting — whatever it is, I let my creativity fly and use my art to speak what is in my heart. I started this business in 2024 with absolutely no clue what it was going to become. Since then I've designed shirts, thrown paint parties, styled fashion shows, and created more than I ever imagined I had in me.

Somewhere in the middle of all that, I realized I wanted to do more than just create — I wanted to involve my community and teach the things I've learned along the way, so the next person could discover that same joy I feel every time I create something with my hands.

In 2025, I graduated from the University of Akron with a degree in Public Relations and a minor in Converged Media, plus certificates in Women's Studies and Professional Social Media. I use everything I learned to scale my own business and to offer those same tools to small businesses across Pittsburgh — with my sights set on reaching business owners everywhere.

Flowers hold a special place in all of this for me. I make floral bouquets because they are pretty, soft, and smell like a little piece of heaven — every bouquet I put together reminds me to appreciate the beautiful gift of nature that God set before us. There is nothing like handing someone fresh flowers from the heart and watching their whole day shift.
