HI, I’M KIRSTIN.

Pronounced “Kear-stin”, but lots of friends just call me Ando. My mom was a floral designers & school teacher, so I guess you could say I’m a true flower child. Some of my earliest memories include finding the bathtub full of flowers and wandering freezing flower markets looking for any petals I could find on the ground.

With a background in fine art & 10 years as a professional graphic designer in the surf industry, I never thought I would follow my Mom’s footsteps into the floral world. But on a Providential day in 2019, I reconnected with Kate of New Creations, an old family friend, and my entire world shifted. The next thing I knew I was all in! Working with florals felt like a piece home - I had found my niche.

I realized Darlin’ encompassed a bit everything I held dear - a moment in nature, a piece of art, and a time to gather with close friends & family.

I currently live and am based in Oceanside, CA.

I’d love to hear what inspires you and work to bring your dreams to life!
