Who we are
Chomping Cat Flower Studio was founded with one clear mission: to make flowers accessible to everyone. But what does accessibility mean to us? It’s about breaking down the barriers that label flowers as a “luxury” item and reimagining them as something everyone can enjoy, connect with, and create with.
The idea for Chomping Cat Flower Studio began to take root when founder Chantelle Leswell spent a transformative summer with a flower farmer during her college years. Watching the farm come alive each morning, filled with vibrant blooms, and then seeing the stand empty by afternoon left a lasting impression. Chantelle fell in love with the beauty and joy that flowers bring, but one thought stuck with her: why should flowers be out of reach for so many?
With her partner in life and business, Jennie Kratz, Chantelle has developed a model for the studio rooted in the belief that flowers shouldn’t be gatekept. Flowers have the power to light up a room, breathe life into our spaces, and connect us to the earth—and that’s something everyone should experience.
At Chomping Cat Flower Studio, we’re building a community where:
People can learn to play with flowers, experimenting with their own creativity.
Unique, one-of-a-kind decor pieces find their way to the perfect home.
Every arrangement is crafted with the highest-quality florals, thoughtfully sourced, and dried in-house.
We proudly partner with local flower farmers, ensuring that our blooms are not only fresh and sustainable but also support the local economy. By focusing on sustainability and creativity, we aim to make floral artistry approachable, inclusive, and inspiring for all.
Chomping Cat Flower Studio isn’t just about flowers—it’s about cultivating joy, connection, and community, one bloom at a time.
