Anjelica Jelie Hennessey calls herself “a bit old school.” As lead floral designer at Flowers for Dreams, a Chicago-based florist that delivers locally designed flowers via bike, we almost believed her – until she told us she landed her job via Instagram. It’s just one example of the old versus new that Anjelica and Flowers for Dreams create daily with their tech savvy, quality-driven company that changes the rules of floral delivery.
Dedicated to honest pricing (everything is just $35), locally sourced materials and giving back to local charities, Flowers for Dreams offers Anjelica more than her share of “I made it!” moments. Having a job that ticks all her personal and professional boxes leaves her feeling like she’s got the perfect gig—a big perk!
“I truly feel like I’ve made it,” Anjelica says. “To me ‘making it’ means working somewhere that satisfies all of your cravings.”
