Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Summer. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Summer, appreciate you joining us today. We’d love to hear about when you first realized that you wanted to pursue a creative path professionally.

I’ve known I wanted to pursue a creative path since I was a child. From a very young age, I was drawn to artistic expression, whether it was through drawing, crafting, or baking. I always felt a need to create, to make something beautiful out of simple ingredients or materials. The feeling of taking an idea and turning it into something real was always thrilling to me.
As I grew older, I started to realize that my creativity wasn’t just a hobby—it was a part of who I am. It didn’t matter if I was in the kitchen baking or outside admiring the way flowers bloom; I was constantly inspired by the world around me and always thinking about how I could translate that inspiration into something tangible. There was always a joy in the process of creating, and I knew deep down that I wanted to spend my life bringing beauty into the world in some way.

The turning point came when I started experimenting with combining my love for baking with my fascination for nature, especially flowers. I began creating cupcakes that didn’t just taste good, but looked like real flowers, floral arrangements that people could enjoy with all their senses. Seeing the reactions of joy and excitement when people received my creations made me realize that this was more than just a creative outlet. It was something I could do to make people happy, to share in their special moments, and to bring a little more beauty into the world.

That’s when I knew this was my path. From childhood curiosity to professional passion, creativity has always been at the heart of everything I do, and it’s a journey that continues to evolve.

Summer, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

For you, what’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative?

For me, the most rewarding aspect of being a creative is the ability to create something that brings joy and connection to people. Whether it’s for a special occasion or just an unexpected treat, the excitement I see when someone receives one of my floral cupcake bouquets is truly fulfilling.

Being able to turn a simple cupcake into something beautiful and meaningful, something that can brighten someone’s day or make a moment unforgettable, gives me a deep sense of purpose. I love that my art isn’t just visually appealing but also evokes an emotional experience. That feeling of knowing I’ve made a difference, even in a small way, is what keeps me passionate about what I do.

Additionally, being a creative allows me to express myself in unique ways and continuously challenge myself to grow and innovate. There’s always something new to explore and that freedom to evolve keeps the work exciting.

At the end of the day, I love that my work can combine both artistry and connection, whether it’s through the celebration of life’s milestones or just spreading a little more beauty and love in the world.

Is there mission driving your creative journey?

My creative journey is driven by a mission to bring more joy, care, and beauty into the world through my work. I’m inspired by the simple yet profound idea that thoughtful, handcrafted creations can make a significant impact on someone’s day. My goal is to offer more than just a product, it’s to create an experience that evokes feelings of excitement, connection, and love.

At the heart of Sweet Petals, I strive to inspire people to celebrate life’s moments, both big and small, with something that feels personal and meaningful. I want every bouquet to feel like a gift of thoughtfulness, where the recipient feels the care and detail that goes into each creation. Whether it’s helping people celebrate a milestone or simply brightening their day, my mission is to spark moments of happiness and elevate everyday experiences.

I also see my journey as one of continual growth and innovation, where I’m always finding new ways to be creative. This drive pushes me to explore fresh ideas, embrace challenges, and consistently evolve. Ultimately, I want to create a lasting impact, one that brings more loving care into the world and allows people to feel more connected, both to themselves and to each other.
