Colleen is our Client Liaison. She joins Summer in serving our clients as their contact, connection, trusted collaborator, & advocate. She is the primary designer for our smaller events, and creates and oversees all aspects of their design process, logistics, delivery, installation, and strike from concept to completion. Colleen comes to us from the world of fashion in NYC and LA with a background in merchandise buying and planning. She has flawless taste, understands pricing and working within a given budget, and loves to foster the client experience. In addition, she is also one of our floral designers, so you will see her onsite and in the studio working as part of the design team.
Fun fact, Colleen is also a bride-to-be and is planning her own wedding for August 2025 on the Oregon coast.
Alyssa is our Design Manager. She came to SRF 3 years ago with a BS in social sciences with an emphasis in community development and leadership. And if she hadn’t fallen in love with flower farming and event florals, she would probably be doing research somewhere right now. Instead she joins Summer overseeing the design team both in the studio and onsite on wedding day. When Alyssa is not flowering she's making pottery, being crafty, and adventuring with her partner in her van or on her motorcycle.
