Hi, I'm Ana! I grew up in Manila and found my way to flowers during the quiet of 2020, a time when most of us were searching for something grounding. What started as a personal practice became The Arui, a small studio I built with my sisters back home.
I studied fashion design at Parsons School of Design, and today I work in corporate fashion by day. But the craving to create with my hands never left. When I moved to New York permanently, The Arui went quiet, and that craving is what brought it back. In 2025, I relaunched it here in this city, shaped by everything I've learned since, and driven by the same simple thing that started it all.
