Erik
Witcraft: Design Creativiteer
Erik Witcraft was born and raised in Olympia, Washington. In 1995,
he decided to work as a volunteer for one very busy day! He swept
and cleaned and answered the phone...ugh! With nothing more than
Valentine's day under his belt in that tiny flower shop in Olympia,
he was hooked! In 1996, Erik moved to Portland and studied basic
and advanced design at the national renown Floral Design Institute
and later became an instructor of the program. Teaching and working
his way up the chain, Erik has worked in many high-end flower shops
within the area. He has developed a keen sense of style and a marked
level of design and customer service in his 12+ year career as a
florist.
