♥ Lauren Ann McCarthy - Creative Director / Head Florist / Graphic Designer

After 13 years in the creative industry as a corporate Graphic Designer and Director, I decided to take a big break from the business world, pack a small backpack and travel the world. On this journey, I rediscovered what my true strengths, passions and beliefs were. Once back in beautiful Cape Town, My Green Love Affair (now Lauren Ann Design Studio) was born, showcasing my exceptionally strong organisational skills, my all consuming passion for being creative in all areas of design and my undeniable love for nature, especially flowers and foliage.
And most importantly giving back and being gentle to the planet and it’s people, wherever possible.

“It's my dream career... combining the three things I love and being able to do it every day with complete fulfilment. Getting to create jobs and encourage skills development has been the most incredible part. As fantastic as it is seeing our clients reactions to our work - the most rewarding part of it all is I sleep well at night knowing I am doing what I love for all the right reasons"
