the founder

What started as impromptu backyard brunches with homemade food and intentional decor became a deeper calling after the loss of her cousin, Rian Smith in 2020. Turning to flowers as a healing modality, she began using beauty as a tool—for processing grief, building connection, and honoring the sacred. As an urban planner and political strategist, her work has always been about world-building. Kristhetic is the extension of that vision—where care, culture, and nature meet.
