Hi, I'm Charina! 

Hello, I’m Charina—creator, curator, and dreamer behind Orchid & Pine Studio. I founded this space in 2022 as a sanctuary where my love for flowers, art, and mindfulness co-exist. It’s where beauty, healing, and creativity come together in the form of one-of-a-kind botanical gifts that awaken the senses and nourish the soul.

My journey began in my grandmother’s rose garden. The love for flowers was passed down from her everlasting care for her roses which spoke of love, resilience, and timeless beauty.

From there, my path unfolded with a BFA in Fashion Design from California College of the Arts, where I learned that creativity knows no bounds. As a fashion designer and later, founder of our indie shop Bloom Butik,  I enjoyed bringing the delight of artsanal, one of a kind goods to the community. 

But it was through yoga that I found balance and a deeper connection to the world around me. My certification through Avalon Yoga, along with travels  to Mysore, India, transformed my life. I began to weave mindfulness, energy healing, and self-care into my entrepreneurial journey —finding peace in the quiet moments and strength in life’s constant flow.

Whether I’m planting, painting, or practicing energy healing, I’m driven by a soul calling to create. For me, every petal, brushstroke, and gesture is a way of sharing light with the world. 

These days, you’ll find me hiking in the mountains, down by the river bank exploring with my pup, or curled up in a cozy corner with a book that feeds my soul.

At Orchid & Pine Studio, I pour my heart into each creation, hoping to bring you peace, joy, and a sense of mindfulness in every moment. Thank you for connecting with me and letting our flowers and creations bring a little bit of beauty and into your world. 🌿

With gratitude,

Charina
