RISSA WALTERS
Founder
Creative Director
Flower Guru
Rissa’s love for floristry first began over 20 years ago in a local flower shop and has taken her around the world—most notably to Australia, where she discovered and fell in love with an inspiring floral industry. With a passion for all things blooming and beautiful, she founded Studio Palma in 2017 to bring elevated floral experiences to life. Today, her work is defined by a refined aesthetic, precise execution, and a belief in the power of flowers to transform both space and moment.
