Hafsa Lewis of Hafsa & Co. is a floral designer in idyllic Nantucket, Massachusetts. We were first introduced to this gem of a human when she attended our first International Workshop Experience in Quito, Ecuador back in 2019. Hafsa's energy is absolutely magnetic, she has a smile to end all smiles, and she has a unique business model, focusing on floral marketing rather than weddings & events. While she has no formal floral design education, she has trained with many well-known designers like Sue McLeary, Katie Davis, Holly Chapple & more, and is self-taught - like so many of you.
You'll get to know more about her over the next two months, but let's hear a little bit about Hafsa from the designer herself:
"I believe in flowers. I believe in the stories they tell and the universal language they speak. They ignite happiness, express remorse, and beautify a space, all without saying a word. Flowers are a unifier, an anchor, and ultimately an experience. They saved my mental health when traditional therapies couldn't, I'm committed to sharing that joy with others in any way I can." –Hafsa Lewis
Hafsa Lewis is owner and founder of Hafsa and Co., a floral design company that uses flowers to help businesses and brands stand out through custom installations, statement pieces, popups & more. Hafsa devoted her undergraduate and graduate studies to the field of psychology, and her passion for both mental health and flowers informs her endeavors.
Hafsa lives on the island of Nantucket, an island 30 miles off the coast of Massachusetts. She is incredibly passionate about supporting women in small business, mental health advocate and anti-bullying activist. When she's not flowering around the country, she's walking her dog Dutch on the beaches of Nantucket and spending time with family and friends.
