Mardee began her professional career in Boulder, Colorado at age 19. While studying holistic medicine, she discovered her love for rustic, floral design and began decorating and planning for weddings. In her early 20's, she moved back home to Florida and opened the fastest growing floral design and retail shop in downtown Jacksonville, hosting elaborate dinner and French dinner parties.

 

In 2016, Mardee opened a farm-to-table dinner party room in Jacksonville Beach and focused her energy on home, house, and treehouse design. Mardee soon became a published author with her first book released in 2008 entitled “Southern Wedding Flowers”. Her second book, using a pen name, was published in 2023 entitled “How to Run Aground on a High Tide”. Mardee is currently writing her third book on the idea of home design.

​

Mardee has been featured on HGTV on multiple occasions for event design, treehouse design and home decor. She enjoys painting with acrylics for individual clients and has had her work commissioned since she was 15 years of age. Mardee has built, designed, and sold three homes, focusing on rustic design and sustainability. For more than 30 years, she has decorated for more than 3,000 high-end weddings, events, and fundraisers. Her heart's passion and gift for design comes directly from her Heavenly Father which is why the Bible scripture passage found in John 15 is still the mission statement of her business.
