Get to Know the Designer Maria-Kristina Fenech
Every design made at the Narcissus & Echo studio reflects Maria-Kristina's enthusiasm for exploring beauty, her inspirations, and her desire to create art in Mother Nature's changing environment. She finds pleasure and joy in realizing the abundant amount of nature that surrounds each day.
Spending most of her summers in southern Europe as a child, she is greatly inspired by the uncomplicated appearance of European beauty, culture, and style. With an education background in fashion and years of visual merchandising and management experience in the fashion retail industry, she felt drawn to yet another beautiful medium of expression and art…flowers.
Established in 2022, Narcissus & Echo is a modern floral design studio that creates floral visions and the concept of floral beauty through the seasonal natural world, with a maximalist yet minimalistic approach. Her goal is to embody your story and style through quaint elements found in the living world while paying homage to European roots and design style.
