A Little Background Story of Natalia Zizko
The florist special of the week featuring Natalia Zizko shares very insightful but most importantly inspirational information for those seeking to become florists nowadays. It is also crucial to know a little back story of how florists such as Natalia had an incredible leap in the industry thanks to her hard work and effort while loving what she did every single day.
After high school, Natalia came to Russia and enrolled in the biological faculty at the university. She had no intention of staying in Russia at first, but a lot happened while she was studying. Zizko studied floristry, obtained a job, and started working with flowers. Of course, when she hit a certain 'limit' in her career in Tomsk, the topic of continuing work arose. As a result, Natalia relocated to Moscow, a city with more prospects for growth, travel, and employment.
Natalia's first competitive success took place in Kyiv, where she yearned and desired to show what she represented as a creative person. In the first contest, she was driven by absolute self-doubt, but she still managed to kill it with her designs. It was at this point that there was no going back for her, and flowers became her life, literally.
