We are profiling Jeannie Yee, Supervisor of the Design Center Team at Watanabe Floral!
Tell us about your role in Watanabe Floral
I'm the Supervisor of our Design Center Team. I make sure our team is on point with completing their design arrangements for the day. I train our new floral designers and design apprentices.
What do you enjoy most about working at Watanabe Floral?
I love the flowers! I've been working for Watanabe for a long time but I still love smelling the flowers when I walk in that door every morning.
What is your favorite flower or plant?
I love the King Protea, it was my wedding flower. I love succulents, dahlias, garden roses, ranunculus, gerbera daisies.
Share a favorite memory from your time working at Watanabe Floral
My favorite memory was the day I met my husband. We both started at Watanabe Floral at the same time. He was a delivery driver and I was a customer service representative. Five guys approached the Customer Service Counter all at once to introduce themselves on my first day of work, he was one of them. We're celebrating our 10 year wedding anniversary and our 20 years together this year.
Why should someone consider a career with Watanabe Floral?
Watanabe Floral is a family-owned business and it always felt like family, especially in the Design Department. We all come with our individual personalities and we grow together. I love the fulfilling feeling when we meet or exceed our guests' expectations.
What do you like to do outside of work?
I spend a lot of time with my husband and my five-year-old daughter at the beach. I spend my time at the beach searching for seashells. I love food as much as I love flowers. I may not have much time in the day but when I do, I'm eating something good or cooking my favorites.
