FLOWER
HI
POWER
Anouk Böhmer!
Would you briefly summarize for our readers who you are, where you come from and what you do? Hi! I am Anouk, 33 years old and live in a small town in The Netherlands. I have the best job in the world because I am a paper florist. So every day I can work with my hands and create flowers for people to make them happy. What did you want to be when you were a kid? I wanted to be an actress, and dreamed about acting in big movies. After hearing about the hard admission to get into an acting school, I had to change my game plan and have played in a drama club in my hometown with lots of other kids and always loved it very much! And every time we had a performance I felt like a true actress. How long have you been making paper flowers and when did you
start sharing your creations on Instagram as well? For three years now. I had my own shop but due to physical problems I had to stop with that dream. I was sitting at home feeling sick about ending my dream and read about paper flowers. I ordered some paper and started creating. After a while I started to post some flowers on Instagram, and because of the encouragement from people online I shared it more and more. When did you start your web shop and what can people find there? In January 2020 I started my paper flower business and also the web shop. After a week almost everything had sold out, so then I felt the power to pursue my paper flower dream. In my web shop you will find little bouquets, flowers for props in photography and my own stationery products.
