Meet Marina Allen, owner and founder of Malina Flowers<\/a> in Austin, Texas. What began as a one-woman operation in a 6×6 room with a mini fridge has blossomed into a thriving 3,000 square foot floral studio in the heart of the city. Marina\u2019s journey from Russia to the U.S. sparked her love of flowers as both a creative outlet and a way to connect with her new community. Today, her team is known for modern, artful designs and a deep commitment to quality, care and artistry. We connected with Marina to learn her business\u2019 origin story and get her unique take on interpreting trends while staying true to the core of her art form.

How did your journey with Malina Flowers begin? What\u2019s your personal connection to flowers and choosing a career as a floral entrepreneur? \u00a0<\/strong>
I\u2019ve always been drawn to creativity, but it was only after moving from Russia to the U.S. that I truly discovered flowers as my medium. Adapting to a new country was not easy, and I felt a strong need to create with my own hands. Floristry became both a passion and a way to ground myself. Over time, what started as a personal outlet grew into a full business. Today Malina Flowers is a thriving studio known for modern, artful design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
