Alumni Profile: Elyse DeHart-Litt

Elyse DeHart-Litt, '03, has recently moved back home to Modesto and has opened a wedding and event floral company called Willow Floral Design. After CCHS Elyse attended Saint Mary's College in Moraga, California. She graduated in 2007 and moved to San Francisco to work in the wine industry. The position in San Francisco eventually led her to New Zealand to explore and continue work in the wine world. It was in New Zealand that Elyse found a new passion for floral design by attending a night school in the area. When she moved back to the States she decided to give the wedding industry a try and for the last two years Elyse has been working as a floral designer in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Needless to say after all of the moving around, she is happy to be back in Modesto and is settling in nicely. Check out her website at www.willowfloraldesign.com
