Rose Cao spent 14 years living in the bustling megacity of Singapore, but she couldn't shake the feeling that something was missing from her life. Despite working for a prominent Fortune 50 company for nearly five years, she found no happiness amidst the hours of stress, the monotony of routine, and the superficiality of social connections. Even though everything appeared beautiful on the surface, she gradually lost confidence in herself.

In the midst of her soul-searching journey, Rose realized that a meaningful life surpassed the confines of a stable job or financial abundance. It necessitated forging genuine connections, experiencing love, sharing, dedicating oneself to society, and pursuing a true passion. Driven to discover her purpose, she explored various workshops and embraced unfamiliar activities in search of stress relief and the revelation of her true passion.

In 2015, a serendipitous encounter changed the course of Rose's life. She stumbled upon a flower design course, igniting a flame within her. Since then, her journey has been replete with excitement and growth. In 2016, she made history as the first Vietnamese floral artist to reach the final round of the prestigious Singapore Garden Festival, securing the Silver Medal for her outstanding table display. Fueled by this achievement, Rose made a courageous decision: she relinquished her Singapore green card and returned to her homeland, Vietnam, determined to share her profound love for floral art with her community.

With a private studio established in Ho Chi Minh City, Rose commenced her floral design workshops. Over the ensuing two years, she orchestrated nearly 300 sessions, encompassing seven comprehensive courses in European Floral Art catering to beginners and advanced learners alike. Collaboration became an integral part of her journey, as Rose joined forces with local and international designers, uniting her students in three notable exhibitions and open-house events that aimed to champion Floral Art and its merits.

By the conclusion of 2017, Rose's commitment to teaching transcended physical boundaries as she forged partnerships with esteemed online teaching platforms. Her reputation as an exceptional instructor spread far and wide, attracting over 500 students hailing from 37 countries to enrol in her courses by December 2020. Taking a stride towards expansion in March 2021, Rose commenced building her own floristry education platform, fostering deeper connections with her students and offering a more immersive learning experience.

At present, Rose offers a comprehensive range of nine courses, from basic to advanced, encompassing theoretical knowledge and practical modules in floristry. Recently, she organized an online demonstration in the Vietnamese language, catering to her beloved community. Her future goal is to invite more talented designers to join her platform, enabling a collaborative environment for online events where students and colleagues worldwide can exchange ideas and share their unique floral design styles with the world.

Rose passionately believes that when you live and do what you love, everything falls into place naturally. For her, the key is serving others while pursuing her own passions.
