ELLIE HOWARD

Lead Floral Designer

Ellie Howard is an artist and floral designer dedicated to creating sustainable, farm-grown floral art that brings joy and beauty to every space. Raised in the East Bay, she first fell in love with flowers in her mother’s garden and on the hiking trails of Central Oregon. With a Bachelor of Science in Fine Art and minors in Western Art History and Business Administration from the University of Oregon, Ellie blends artistic vision with a deep respect for nature. Her experience includes managing retail and event operations at Flowers for Dreams in Chicago, where she led workshops, coordinated pop-ups, and built a loyal team, as well as hands-on farm and harvest work in New Zealand, England, and Washington State.

At Little Saint Farm, Ellie draws on this diverse background to lead floral design, transforming locally grown blooms into stunning fresh and dried arrangements. Her passion for sustainable practices and creative collaboration shapes every bouquet and installation, enriching the connection between farm, flower, and community.
