Rachel: Store Manager; Lead Designer
Email: rachel@benwhiteflorist.com
Rachel has been professionally playing with flowers since April 2008. When not hard at work designing beautiful floral arrangements or taking photographs, she can be found indulging in copious amounts of coffee and curry with her partner, David. Currently perfecting the art of animal mothering to her amazing dog, Mortimer, and three crazy cats, she finds solace in the beauty and unknown of scifi, discovering the power of the human heart in English literature, writing with a Pilot pen, and using far too many words to write a simple statement, such as,
“I like tacos.” So it goes.
Anahi: Shift Leader; Designer; CSR
Anahi, raised in Austin, is a super sweet, unbelievably nice, and full-of-fun girl who loves walking by Town Lake with her dog, Lehla. In her free time, she likes painting abstract paintings as well as baking sweet treats and eating her mom’s homemade food. When not at work, she’s either running errands, shopping with her friends, or having fun cruising around the city with her cousin while being fascinated by the color pink.
Sofia: Designer in training; CSR
Sofia is an Austin native and multi-talented artist. She enjoys working with ink, paint, movement and words. She is currently pursuing a full time career in fashion modeling but in the meantime loves being immersed in the floral industry.
