Erica has developed a contemporary, yet classic style. She is gifted in creating trend-setting wedding and prom designs. Her work has been featured in Maui No Ka Oi Magazine (June 2009) and Denver Magazine (April 2009).
She has been an active participant in “Growing Dreams” a floral/fashion extravaganza that benefits the foster child programs at Maui Youth and Family Services.
Erica says, “I was born and raised on Maui, and after working in the Denver/Boulder area for 6 years, I feel incredibly lucky to be coming home to manage Haleakala Florist. It is time for me to be here and take the company forward, and at the same time, give back to the community that has given me so much.”
