Karen Violetti, owner of Arquiflora, joins us to discuss how she combined her career and her passion to create a business. 

While Karen was in school to become an architect, her mother decided to quit her 25 year career in banking an open her dream business - a flower shop. Originally repelled by joining a family business, Karen continued her career in architecture and went on to work for a firm full time. But being a great daughter, she still helped her mom at the shop on weekends and little did she know, she discovered her love for flowers. 

Fast forward to today and after a pandemic year, it took Karen stumbling across her late grandmother’s heirlooms to realize she could create a business from combining her career and her passion. Enter Arquiflora. 

Arquiflora is Karen’s company that specializes in “building” thoughtfully planned out bouquets for brides and then preserving them to create family heirlooms that can be passed down through generations. The name Arquiflora is a literal combination of architecture and florals and the business has allowed Karen to express her creativity and abilities to her true potential. We talk all about her journey to getting where she is now and what challenges and lessons she learned along the way. 

Join us as we discuss, and of course – share some of our own funny anecdotes about our own experiences through Saturn Return – leaving you with the (probably) much-needed reminder: We’ve ALL been there before.
