About Form & Fire

   Hi, I'm Meg! I was born and raised in the New York City suburbs and I moved south of Mason-Dixon line in 2007, eventually calling the fast-growing city of Frederick, Maryland and establishing F&F. I'm an "elder millennial" and mom of three exceptional children.

I have always been more interested in flowers than the average person, but I fell in love with floral design soon after earning a Psychology degree from Towson University. C'est la vie. The heart wants what it wants. Mine wants unlimited blooms to create with. I started out as a designer in the little boutique that did MY wedding flowers in 2009, and I never looked back.  

Form & Fire originated in 2014 as a floral and ceramics studio--which explains our name. We've been focused solely on flowers since 2017. Frederick, MD was the original home of the Form & Fire studio. In 2020, my family and I relocated down the road a ways to Boonsboro, a historic civil war heritage site at the foot of South Mountain. We built a new studio (Little Blue!) and we are turning this little bit of land into a teeming organic garden, one hand-selected plant at a time. We grow hard-to-find, exotic, and trendy blooms at home, and source our flowers from our own land, local farms, and sometimes wholesalers when needed to round out our selection. We prefer to use local blooms whenever possible!

Since beginning my career in earnest, I have workshopped and collaborated with world-renowned floral designers and I've taught the elements of design to beginner students, made incredible professional contacts and friends along the way, and honed my own flowing, textured, just-tamed style of design while developing enthusiasm into genuine passion for (read: obsession with) flowers, foliage, vines, fruit, seedpods, and anything else that can be styled to accentuate their natural beauty and color variation.
