We are looking for someone looking to grow with the company that is interested in becoming a designer. As the company expands and becomes larger, more responsibility will be given to the right candidate, should they show promise. Someone who already has experience upon application will be given more responsibility of designing florals for weddings. Should someone with less experience be the right fit for the company, they will need to start from the ground up and earn their trust in the business before training on design takes place.
