Ursula is the Owner and Creative Director of fleursDC – a woman-owned business located on Capitol Hill in Washington DC. fleursDC thrives on delivering floral dreams to clients’ homes all around the DMV. Ursula sees herself as a floral artist constantly inspired by art, fashion, culture, nature, and music. Ursula has started off 2022 with a bang being named by Florists' Review Magazine as one of the "125 Florists to be Celebrated in 2022" and was also named "An American Floral Trendsetter" by Florists' Review Magazine. She is extremely humbled & honored to be both presenting on the main stage and teaching workshops this July at AIFD's National Symposium "Roots" in Las Vegas with Team Fleurvana. The 2022 Summer issue of Flower Magazine will feature some of Ursula's designs. Ursula's avant-garde yet sophisticated floral designs always focus on color and fun!!! She mindfully creates designs for her clients based on the current trends in design and sourcing unique botanicals that make floral dreams a reality for her clients. She has studied under both American and European Masters of floral design. She earned her Certified Floral Designer credentials through AIFD in 2019 and recently earned her European Master Certification in Belgium in October 2021. Always a curious student of her craft, she believes in continuous learning and pushing herself out of her comfort zone. She holds these to be vital to her creative process and growth as an artist. Ursula was a Critical Care Nurse for 18 years before the birth of her son in 2014. She started her floral journey in 2017 during a time of loss and soul searching. It's been full steam ahead ever since and she hasn’t looked back! In her downtime, Ursula enjoys spending time with her husband, 2 children and dog.
