What better way to welcome spring than with a new blog!
We interviewed our head chef, Alexa Londoño on her experience learning new creative techniques to grow her business as she cultivates long-lasting relationships with her clients. Alexa Londoño has been the head chef at Pasta Party Miami for 19 years. With great experience she understands that there is always room to learn. Below she talks about her experience taking a Floral Arrangement course with renowned Floral Designer, Aniska as well as a Masterclass on business and marketing with Fleursociety.
Can you tell me a little bit about your experience taking Aniska’s Floral arrangement course?
My experience was extraordinary! Aniska is a beautiful human being, filled with love and passion for her business. She has a special talent for teaching and it showed throughout the class. She made us feel comfortable and like family. She is a woman filled with dreams that has made them come to life. She spoke to us about her testimony, her beginnings in the business, and the importance of finding mentors that can help guide you as you reach toward your dreams.
How did you hear about this course?
My daughters gifted this course to me! We heard about the course through Instagram and I knew that I wanted to be a part of it. However, I started getting more busy with my business that I started putting the course to the side. My daughters knew that I wanted to learn more about it and they surprised me with it!
Would you recommend this course to other business owners?
I definitely recommend that business owners that work with design and creativity take this course. Floral design and arrangements are so important and it truly gives life to any event. Apart from being part of my business, it's a personal passion of mine to create beauty through flowers and I think others would enjoy it as much as I did.
How are you going to use what you learned in this class in Pasta Party and your future goals?
Everything is through practice and what better way to show what I have learned than through my events directly through Pasta Party. My dream is to have a coffee shop that is filled with flowers and knowing how to design something beautiful with all kinds of flowers is key.
Can you tell me a little bit about the business and marketing masterclass with Fleursociety?
That masterclass I actually won through a giveaway on Instagram! It was a great experience. The creator of that initiative, Cristina Barragan developed an exceptional course that helped me get to another level and make changes to the way I structure my business. There were different panelists throughout the 2 intensive online class days. We will begin to use these tools in our social media, blogs and more. We have a lot of great things coming this year for Pasta Party!
