Leah McDaniel is the owner, creative director, and founder of Black Swan Floral Design, a floral design studio in Upstate NY and VT. The business started as a collaboration with her mother, Pamela Miller, who owned Black Sheep Barn and Gardens —an organic flower and vegetable farm in West Chazy, NY prior to retirement.
Mother, wife, designer, and animal enthusiast, Leah has a need to constantly grow and learn by forming and reforming her style through workshops, life experiences, and inspiration from her clients. She is obsessed with looking for fresh ideas and creative ways to showcase the beauty of flowers and nature and is dedicated to sustainability.
Leah is self-taught with a history in art and biology. Every “off season” she searches for workshops and virtual studios she can learn and draw inspiration from.
