About

Hey! I’m Hope,

I’m a floral preservation artist and the founder of Pressed Botanicals.

My journey with flowers began in 2019, when I founded Olive Branch Studios, a floral preservation company that started as a creative way to help fund my work teaching English overseas. What began as a small creative pursuit quickly grew into a full-time career and introduced me to the art of preserving flowers and the stories they carry.

After more than seven years of growing, creating, and preserving thousands of meaningful blooms, I made the decision to step away from Olive Branch Studios and begin a new chapter of my own.

Pressed Botanicals was born from that transition.

It is a return to the parts of this work I have always loved most  creating with my hands, working intentionally with real flowers, and making pieces that feel personal, timeless, and at home within the spaces they’re created for.

Today, I continue to preserve wedding bouquets, memorial flowers, and other sentimental blooms, while also creating original botanical artwork for homes and interior spaces. Every piece is made with real pressed flowers and botanicals, thoughtfully arranged to celebrate their natural movement, texture, and color.

My work is inspired by gardens, changing seasons, and the quiet beauty found in nature. Whether I’m preserving flowers from one of life’s most meaningful moments or creating an original piece simply because the flowers themselves deserve to become art, my hope is to create something that can be lived with and loved for years to come.

My work has been featured in Brides, Wayfair, Gulfshore Life, and The Scout Guide.

Thank you for being here and for supporting this new chapter.
