A one-day, hands-on reset that builds confident designers.

If you’ve been designing for a while, you probably have a handful of “things that work.” The problem is… hacks don’t scale. Not for wedding season. Not for Valentine’s week. Not for training a new teammate. Not when substitutions hit and your recipe collapses.

Design Bootcamp is a full-day, in-person training with Amy Balsters (The Floral Coach®) built to give you what most florists are missing: a clear, reliable design framework you can repeat. You’ll learn the why behind placements, mechanics, and flower choices so you can design faster, cleaner, and with more confidence.

This isn’t a watch-and-nod workshop.
You’ll build. You’ll practice. You’ll get coached.
That’s the shortcut. That’s what you’re paying for.

What makes this workshop different?

Online education is great. It’s also easy to think “I’ve got this” when no one is watching you design.

At Design Bootcamp, Amy can see what’s happening in your hands and help you see and understand what roadblocks you may be hitting. Not just the finished bouquet photo.

You’ll get:

• Strategic, proven design training (the kind that actually changes your muscle memory)
• Constructive feedback so you stop repeating the same small mistakes
• A practical process you can use daily in retail and event production
• Real-world guidance on mechanics, ingredient choices, and efficient execution

Amy teaches with a framework-forward approach that makes design feel less like guesswork and more like a skill you can build on purpose. (If you’ve ever resonated with “repeatable process” language, this is that energy.) 

 Who is this workshop for?

Design Bootcamp is perfect if you are:

• A newer florist who wants a strong foundation (without years of trial-and-error)
• An experienced designer who wants to tighten up process, speed, and consistency
• A shop owner training a team, freelancers, or seasonal help
• Someone who keeps thinking, “I should feel more confident than I do”

If you’ve been relying on instincts, YouTube, or “that one way you learned years ago”… this is your reset.

Why We Built Design Bootcamp

Because education should feel accessible, practical, and worth the investment for you and your team.

Bootcamp was designed to deliver maximum value in one day:

• real skills
• real tools
• real growth you can take back and apply immediately

No fluff. Just real fundamentals that support better design and better business.

And yes, fundamentals can be premium.

Because when your foundation is strong, everything gets easier: speed, substitutions, production, confidence, consistency.
