Ep. 175 - Trend Hunting with Juliana Bustillo of Ora the Floral Agency
The Fresh Bunch kicks off its rebrand with a fresh dose of inspiration from Juliana Bustillo, Founder and Creative Director of Ora the Floral Agency—"the first" floral-exclusive design agency built to help traditional brands and farms enter the new age.
From humble beginnings to partnering with MasterCard and being featured on Domestika, Juliana has grown Ora into a multi-person powerhouse agency that services members of all sides of the industry. But Ora is more than beautiful blooms—it’s a forward-thinking agency with a dedicated team of cool hunters forecasting trends and shaping what's next in floral design.
We talk with Juliana about creativity, scaling a team, trendspotting in the floral world, and how systems and tools (like better expense management) help her focus on what really matters: creating unforgettable experiences through flowers.
