I’m the founder and creative spirit behind Ritzy Stems, a flower creator rooted in the heart of Covina. What started as a personal quest for a creative outlet quickly blossomed into something much more meaningful — a way to elevate every day through floristry.

As a millennial woman navigating life’s many twists and turns, I was searching for a space where I could express myself creatively. Flowers became that space.

Ritzy Stems is the culmination of all the ritzy moments in life. Whether it’s a celebration of love, a gesture of comfort, or simply a "just because" moment, I believe flowers have a unique way of speaking when words fall short.

Hi there!
