After graduating from UC Berkeley she spent a year in Paris which further ignited her passion for floral design. Soon after, she gifted her sister with her wedding florals she then went abroad to the South of France and studied floral technique. Upon returning, she opened Fleurs du Soleil. Her extraordinary floral designs at weddings, events and resort venues have created a highly sought after service in an area where spectacular events demand spectacular floral designs. In 2017 Kim expanded her business by taking over the remodeled Myrick’s building next to El Estero Car Wash in Monterey. Her vision of expansion has encompassed a European-Urban style retail floral and lifestyle store featuring grab & go arrangements & wraps, contemporary gifts, home goods, one of a kind furniture and daily deliveries. #FLOWERPOWER Lynnette Smick Untamed Fire 490 Orange Ave, Unit D Sand City 831-582-1724 UntamedFire.net Lynnete has played with cauldrons and crystals since childhood “I knew I belonged in the metaphysical realm the first time I visited Stonehenge - I was 10 - the peaceful energy I felt then is what I hope to share.” Untamed Fire emerged from a desire to create a warm, inclusive, home for community post-Covid.
