About the Instructor
About Kelly Perry
Before you could find her empowering professionals in the floral industry full-time, Kelly started a tiny weekly flower subscription that she grew into her own successful boutique floral design business, Philosophy Flowers.
Kelly Perry’s life with flowers—and her joy of teaching other professionals—naturally stems from her time working as a corporate event planner after she graduated from college, studying fashion, interior design, event planning, entrepreneurship, and education. Of her educational background, Kelly reminisces, “The first lesson I taught in my education class was called ‘The Elements and Principles of Design.’ I practically floated out of that class, and I remember thinking, ‘If I could find a way to just teach that lesson for the rest of my life, I would be so happy.’ It combined everything I loved: fashion, interior design, business, event design, art, and education."

“You are never too old, too middle-aged, or too young to learn and start something new. Age, position, money, and life experiences don’t define your ability to be excellent at your art and use it to encourage the world. If you love flowers, learn everything you can and go do it!”
