ENFS Shop Assistant

 Hi! I’m Meg and I’m the Creative Director and CEO here at Foliage.

But, if you’re here hopefully you already know that! At East Nashville Flower Shop by Foliage, we create luxury-level floral arrangements for clients in the Greater Metro-Nashville area. My background in design, art & entrepreneurship serve our clients well, but we’re growing and now I need your help! 

 

So, if we’re gonna work together, here are a few things you should know about me: 

  • I’m a Pisces and enneagram 5w4. Why is this relevant? I’m a big dreamer that needs a team of ready & willing, hard working people to help me make these visions come to life!
  • My business model is pretty straightforward: we find the most unique and exciting floral solutions that speak to us + our clients on an emotional level, + providing excellent client support along the way.
  • Building a vibrant, helpful and kind team of humans from all walks of life, with all different strengths, values and beliefs is a core value of Foliage. The more diverse we are as humans, the stronger we are as a team!
  • I want our team to enjoy the work!  All of our time is precious. I want to spend mine working on things that I love. I would love for my team to feel the same way.
  • We are opening our first Flagship Storefront in Nashville this spring/summer. It's gonna be a journey, so you gotta be down for the ride!
  • I love real talk. Clear, consistent communication with my team is very important to me!
  • I need help finding time to focus! I need team members that are ready to take tasks off my plate so I can zone in on the most important parts of growing the business that only I can do.

Sound like you?
