Sand and Lavender is inspired by my love of floral, organic materials, texture, vibrant colors, contemporary coastal design, and an authentic desire to make your day beautiful! We are event junkies…after 20 years of brand activations, we still love a great event. It is our joy to bring floral beauty to your home, nurture your soul, and share with your treasured friends.We specialize in event centerpieces/decor, special occasion bouquets, hostess gifts, orchid & succulent gardens, and on-site event flower activities.

My client relationships are unique in that we contribute to both the marketing and PR functions with a focus on meaningful engagements that support business development and revenue growth. In this domain it is as important to be creative as it is to be realistic. I have a unique ability to align sales and marketing, embrace retail operations, and create marketing and PR strategies that actually work. For 20 years, I have held leadership positions with luxury brands such as Jaguar Land Rover, Dallas Stars, City of Plano, Arts of Collin County, Junior League, and numerous nonprofit organizations. I create, implement, and support growth marketing platforms by interlocking global strategies to the regional and community level while bridging brands across the retail, municipal, and philanthropic landscape. Services range from launch campaigns, social media campaigns, brand collaborative marketing, customer communication cycles (CRM, E-mail marketing, text, social), media relations, sponsorship, community partnerships, special events, media planning & placement, digital marketing and creative services. You will see us use the phrase "In the Community" because we highly value our contribution to the community-at-large and have donated our time and resources to many North Texas nonprofits. We work as consultants but also collaboratively within a clients' team. We can handle a short-term project or serve as a strategic resource for a specific function with your marketing plan.
