My Story.

​Hi, my name is Jacqueline de la Cruz and here’s my story. 

I worked in R&D for about 10 years as an electrical engineer (please don't ask me about circuits) and eventually got bored of it all - the office, the lab, the routine hours, the whole corporate lifestyle in general.  And more importantly, I knew it wasn't what I was meant to do.  So I left.  

I decided, "I'm gonna be a florist!"  Because what could be further from engineering and the corporate world than that?  I also happen to love flowers of course.  I did the courses and got a certificate.  I currently work with a great team and enjoy helping clients.  So I am now a happy, part-time florist!  
  
Full-time, I love rabbits.  Yes, bunnies.  I have two of my own and bunnysit on the side (check out 
Bonjour Bunny).  I also volunteer for the Quebec Rabbit Rescue, helping with adoption clinics and dehydrating fruit for fundraising.  

So part-time florist, full-time bunny lover and… accidental blackboard artist?!  Yes, this was all a fortunate accident!  I was relaxing on the couch one night, checking Facebook, and came across a friend’s post on how they needed someone to write & draw on blackboards for their restaurants. Anyone who knows me, knows that I love lettering.  I was a bit hesitant with the drawing part of it, but their post had one encouraging requirement – “Must be better than my 4 yr old”. So I thought to myself, “Well, I do like chalk art and hmmm… I guess I can draw better than a 4 year old!”.  So I replied to the post, offering my time and quickly provided a sample of my hand-lettering. That was in June 2016.  Long story short, what I thought would be a few hours of volunteer work has taken me here today.
