Here's a peek into the making of a @flowersfordreams bouquet. Every purchase benefits a local charity. "I am able to make a difference in people's lives. I get to work with an amazing company with a fantastic culture that contributes to real issues. We've partnered with companies like National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) and Spark Chicago, a mentorship type program implemented in Chicago Public Schools." -Angelica Ruiz, Flower Truck Manager Order your own bouquet at www.flowersfordreams.com. (link in bio) #givingback #flowersofinstagram #handcrafted #flowersfordreams #womenempoweringwomen #womenwhomake "My main role in the company is Truck Manager, but I also have roles in marketing and floral design. I'm able to connect with some new and existing audience members in a way we weren't able to before due to our lack of a traditional storefront. The flower truck bridged that gap. As far as marketing and floral design, I'm an imaginative individual. I love devising social strategy and creating with my hands." -Angelica Ruiz from @flowersfordreams #flowersofinstagram #handmade #chicagobusiness #givingback #flowertruck #creative Angelica Ruiz manages the Flowers for Dreams flower truck. She drives all over Chicago, selling bouquets at markets and events. These locally crafted flowers start at just $15, and a quarter of that goes to a charity in the community.
