In 2017, Kristen Alpaugh stepped away from the corporate world to pursue her passion as an artist. Inspired by the impermanent beauty of flowers, Kristen's colorful and boundary-bending work is redefining the space where floristry and botanical art meet. You've probably seen Kristen's work on Season 1 of HBO's Full Bloom, on multiple celebrity instagrams and in some of your favorite music videos with artists like SZA, Katy Perry and Doja Cat donning her wearable floral designs. Kristen is also the founder of Haus of Stems, a botanical art company that sells Irithurium (that's iridescent anthurium) to florists and non-florists nationwide.

Show Notes:
Kristen totally appreciated the journey and found value and opportunities to incorporate the hard times into growing her own strength.
There’s room for everyone! Everyone (customers too) has various needs and demands at different times in their life and that’s ok.
Never stop experimenting! You can always find opportunities to learn something new.
Don’t sell yourself short. Continue to push through the challenges. One thing usually leads to another and before you know it you’ll discover new things about yourself and what you can achieve.
If you fall down 7 times, get up 8! Know your vision and have the confidence persevere.
