Kimberly Sevilla
Originally from West Virginia, Kimberly Sevilla worked at the USDA Appalachian Fruit Research Station for four years as a research assistant while working towards a degree in Biology and Chemistry at Shepherd University.
In 1992, she decided to take a sabbatical prior to entering graduate school and moved to New York City to pursue a career in more creative fields. She attended FIT and Parson's eventually found her niche designing and building window displays, trade show displays and museum exhibits. Her clients included The Smithsonian, Reebok, Pepsi, Nike, Barney’s, Cole Haan, Calvin Klein, Burberry, Mac Cosmetics, Kenneth Cole, the NFL, the MLB, Lego and other A-list companies.
Building Tradeshow Exhibits and Museum Displays took Kimberly around the world. Everywhere she went she would take some time off to visit botanical gardens and study how other people garden, particularly in urban spaces. Places visited included Japan, Korea, Malaysia, China, Italy, France and the UK.
After the birth of their daughter in 2008, Kimberly decided to make another life change and open a garden center and floral design studio in Brooklyn called Rose Red & Lavender where her focus would be on Organic Gardening, Stunning Floral Design and Growing Food in small spaces.
