Abot Seattle Floral Designer
Welcome,
I’m Evangel
OUR BEGINNINGButterfly’s Rest was born in a season of transition
Before flowers became my profession,
athey quietly reshaped my life...
There was a time when my life was defined by constant pressure and productivity — an atmosphere that left little room to breathe. Personal challenges made it clear that something needed to change. I often describe that season as feeling like a butterfly in a cocoon: not yet transformed, but unable to remain the same.
Flowers began as a creative outlet — a way to slow down, to observe, to process. They became a quiet language for rediscovering joy and restoring connection. What started as a personal practice gradually became transformative.
Designing with flowers revealed something essential: beauty lives in restraint, in movement, in imperfection.
Leaving corporate life was not a pivot — it was alignment. Butterfly’s Rest was born from that choice, with the intention of creating space for others to experience the same calm, care, and presence that flowers had offered me.
Today, the studio remains rooted in that original transformation:
calm, considered floral work designed to invite pause, honor individuality, and bring beauty into everyday life.
OUR PHILOSOPHYTake a breather,
smell the flower
Flowers offer rare moments of pause in a world that moves quickly.
The butterfly in our mark represents transformation. The flower represents rest. The body of the butterfly forms a semicolon — a quiet reminder that there is always space for what comes next.
We design with that pause in mind.
OUR DESIGN APPROACHRooted in care,
intention & seasonality
Our work is guided by a clear artistic point of view and a respect for the natural rhythm of the seasons. Every composition is shaped with intention — balancing structure, movement, and restraint.
Seasonal sourcing whenever possible
Sculptural compositions with a soft editorial sensibility
Thoughtful processing for longevity
Sustainable mechanics using eco-conscious alternatives to toxic foam
A calm, guided client experience grounded in trust
Care is not an afterthought in our work — it is the foundation of every stem placed.
OUR VALUES & CARESustainability is an extension of respect
for the flowers, the environment, and the community we serve.
We prioritize thoughtful sourcing, responsible mechanics, and mindful material use. Whenever possible, we work seasonally and locally, and process flowers thoroughly to extend their life and reduce waste.
We never use toxic floral foam, instead relying on eco-conscious alternatives. Leftover blooms are repurposed, composted, or shared — ensuring beauty is never wasted.
Flowers are most meaningful when shared.
OUR PLACE IN COMMUNITYThrough flowers, we create moments of connection, care, and generosity.
We collaborate with local Seattle businesses, artists, and organizations to foster creative exchange and shared celebration. Community is central to everything we do.
