Intro to Beam & Bramble

Beam & Bramble is a Pacific Northwest–based design studio offering seasonal floral collections, boutique arrangements, and select creative collaborations. Our work centers on moments that linger. Flowers styled to speak without words, spaces shaped with intention, and objects designed to be kept rather than consumed.

We work at the intersection of structure and softness, restraint and wildness. Drawing from the natural rhythms, landscapes, and quiet drama of the region we call home, each offering is guided by season, material, and mood.

Beam & Bramble was created for those who value thoughtfulness over excess and meaning over immediacy. We believe beauty is not merely decorative. It is connective. A way of marking time, honoring place, and making people feel seen.

Our approach is intentionally limited. We release work in small quantities and take on select projects so each piece can be made with care, curiosity, and integrity. This allows the work to remain personal, grounded, and deeply considered.

Hi, I’m Amber (she/her), founder and creative director of Beam & Bramble.

I hold a Bachelor of Fine Arts in sculpture, but spent nearly two decades working in real estate, development, and finance. Throughout that time, creativity lived alongside my professional life. In the margins. I hosted elaborate dinners, designed florals for friends, and made custom keepsakes simply because I couldn’t not make things.

Eventually, it became clear that what I treated as a side pursuit was the most honest expression of who I am.

Beam & Bramble was created to bring more beauty and meaning into everyday life. Not through perfection, but through care, intention, and attention to detail. The studio reflects my belief that design can be both structured and human, thoughtful without being precious.

I live just outside of Portland with my husband, our son, and our corgi puppy, Duckie. When I’m not working, you’ll likely find me immersed in a creative project, rearranging flowers, experimenting in the kitchen, playing golf, singing karaoke, competing at trivia, or deep into a true crime or history documentary.

The name reflects the contrast I design with every day.

“Beam” stands for structure, clarity, and intention — the framework of good design. But it also evokes light, warmth, and the kind of quiet joy that radiates from someone who feels seen and celebrated.

“Bramble” (like blackberry vines) speaks to the wild, the seasonal, the uncontained florals growing freely in the Pacific Northwest.

Together, Beam & Bramble represents the balance I bring to every offering: rooted and refined, organic and considered. It’s a name that holds both the softness of petals and the strength of a foundation, and the spark of joy that makes it all worthwhile.
