ORLY KHON
I have always been obsessed with art. Lines, colors, and textures have flooded my dreams since childhood. My background in graphic design and fine art has found its home in florals - coming to life with creative compositions. My style is subtle but dramatic, layered and unexpected. I believe you can find true self-expression through plants and endless inspiration through creative collaboration.
Elise
Floral Designer & Event Specialist
My name is Elise Quackenbush and I have a BS in Interior Design from MSU. I have a passion for cultivating and interacting with thought-provoking art and design. From a uniquely designed space, to a piece of sculpture or floral arrangement, I believe art, curated spaces, and events should seek to pull one out of the everyday and into the beauty and nuance of being. This concept is one of the reasons I was drawn to florals as an art form, and to join the OKF team. The collective mindset for elevated design remains one of my favorite parts of working on this team of artists, and we genuinely have so much FUN together! In my free time find me at the arboretum, ICA, or a cozy dive bar with great music.
Marissa
Plant Project Manager & Plant Stylist
I earned my BA in Psychology and Sociology and spent numerous years working in the mental health field. I am passionate about interior design and styling, as well as the psychology of space. Intentional interior design not only curates a gorgeous space, but also showcases personality, and positively affects mood. Working alongside like-minded individuals that make every single work day fun is the best part of being on the OKF team. Outside of work, you’ll most likely find me at a thrift store, the gym, or at home, switching up my decor for the hundredth time.
Mackenzie
Floral Event Production Manager & Visual Marketing Producer
I earned my BFA in Studio Art from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. I have a passion for using my hands to create, and flowers have been a central pillar of my studio practice, showing up in my fibers, ceramics, drawing, and photography work. Being objects that have a fixed timeline, the ephemeral nature of flowers has always inspired me as they line between growth and decay. Beyond working with the best team, I love spending my time working on one of my large-scale cross stitches and catching up on the latest marine biology documentary. Nudibranchs anyone?
Kaila
Plant Care Specialist
I have a BFA concentrating in both painting and printmaking with a minor in art history. I am passionate about learning and exploring new places. It is always rewarding when new knowledge leads to inspired creation. The best part about working with the OKF team is the space we are given to grow and to learn through experience while receiving endless support. Outside of work, I love discovering swimming holes near and far, cooking creative meals, and watching documentaries.
Mekah
Studio Manager
I have a BA in Visual Arts. I enjoy learning new things to expand my mind. Working with the OKF Team is working with people who are passionate about every piece of work; showing their creativity and passion for a beautiful arrangement. Outside of work I find pleasure in painting with a glass or hitting the field to play some flag football.
