About SWD Agency

SWD Agency is a multidisciplinary event and design studio crafting immersive, story-driven experiences across corporate, social, and creative landscapes. Our approach to design blends artistry, strategy, and sensory detail — from large-scale event installations to intimate floral moments that define the tone of an experience.

We’re seeking a Part-Time Freelance Florist to join our growing creative roster — someone who thrives on translating ideas into expressive floral design and understands how flowers can transform space, emotion, and brand storytelling.

The Role

As our Freelance Florist, you’ll collaborate with our Creative Director and Designer as well as production teams on small, medium, and large-scale projects — from editorial shoots to high-end private events and corporate experiences. You’ll assist in conceptualizing, prepping, and executing floral designs that align with SWD’s creative vision and brand standards.

Key Responsibilities

Source and assist in executing floral arrangement designs for various event scales and styles
Collaborate with the Creative Director, Designer, and creative team to develop moodboards and floral concepts
Assist in building detailed floral recipes, quantities, and costing sheets for proposals and production
Assist with sourcing, conditioning, and prepping florals pre-event
Support on-site setup and installation of floral components
Work closely with production to manage logistics, cleanup, and inventory
Ensure high standards of quality, aesthetics, and sustainability in floral selection

Requirements

Must be based in New York City and available for in-person work and installations
Strong creative eye for color, texture, and composition
Proficiency in creating floral recipes and cost sheets (admin and budget management skills are key)
Ability to work under tight timelines and in dynamic event environments
Excellent communication and collaborative skills
A portfolio showcasing past floral work (required)

Ideal Candidate

You’re both an artist and a strategist — equally comfortable sketching a centerpiece concept or breaking down cost-per-stem for a large event order. You love collaboration, thrive in creative chaos, and are passionate about building meaningful experiences through florals that tell a story.
