our story
Most of my twenties were spent as a designer in the textile studios of San Francisco. Any spare time I had, you could find me perusing flower markets, picking up exotic blooms, studying their latin translations, and signing up for endless botanical workshops.
I carry my fashion background with me as I refine each design process: color palette curation and coordination of a cohesive look and feel are directly influenced by time spent in that world.
The two so seamlessly overlap that despite skipping the classical floristry training, I’m confidently able to bring a refreshing eye when it comes to playful details and inspiration sources.

nancy gusman
assistant design director
Nancy has been with Twine Floral Co since August of 2021, and was thrown into one of our busiest wedding seasons as we navigated an influx of weddings. Per her style she dove in head first, and quickly became an integral part of the team. Nancy's background in hospitality, mixed with her keen eye for design and fashion, makes her an expert with choosing color palettes and creating stunning design boards! During wedding season, you will find Nancy leading client consultations, and managing most weddings. Fancy Nancy, as we like to call her, is also our go to for designer fashion advice. While out of the office, you can find Nancy outside enjoying all that Lake Tahoe has to offer. I am so lucky to have Nancy on our team, she is the glue that holds Twine together!
bri ortega
client relations & floral preservation specialist
Bri was one of our luckiest finds in March of 2022. She is the true artist on the team who can tackle any creative project that we throw her way (and we do this often!) Bri wears many hats in the Twine studio, and has recently added Client Relations to her workload. It has been such a joy to see Bri settle into the studio -- growing in her design as well as her leadership. During the wedding season, you will find Bri designing dozens of bridesmaids bouquets, large installations, managing weddings, as well as communicating with clients. Bri is a true gem, and I'm so delighted that she chose to join our team in a year round role. .
