Molly Ford · The Shape of a Season Molly Ford is a Brooklyn-based floral designer. Raised in a small town in Arkansas, Molly’s upbringing was rooted in creativity. “That love for art and nature was instilled in me from a young age, but also the idea that you can build something, and you can change a room. Nothing is precious, and art is something that's supposed to be explored.” Now Molly lives in New York, she cites the city’s boundless energy as key components of maintaining the thriving longevity of her business. “New York is such a massive city that has always loved grand gestures,” she says. “We produce moments for people - these worlds where they can submerge themselves with flowers and nature. Then it all gets taken away the next day. New York craves newness.” You can read more about Molly Ford’s practice on the #TOASTMagazine via the link in bio.
