Yanitsel's passion for flowers, weddings and events started when she was just 16 years old. While getting her degree in Hospitality, she joined her family's event design company in Cuba, designing intimate and large events for almost ten years.

After relocating to San Francisco in 2013, she started her own Floral and Event Design company to continue living her dream of bringing her clients' visions to life. Before opening Ochun Studio, Yanitsel got certified as an Advanced Floral designer in Portland, Oregon and as a Wedding and Event Designer from IWED.

Yanitsel loves collaborating with her clients and other industry creatives to ensure a cohesive design, not only focusing on the flowers, but on the overall concept and aesthetic of the entire events.

She lives in sunny Marin County, where she grows fabulous flowers and stays inspired by nature and the seasons.
