Claire Ryan Luke is a designer and a writer. With a background in film and tv, her talent for creating visual narratives combined perfectly with her love of flowers when she founded The Informal Florist in 2012. 

This in-demand floral design business went on to be featured in Vogue and Harpers Bazaar, among other titles. Claire has since expanded her knowledge of the botanical world by studying with renowned natural perfumers to learn more about plant oils and their holistic fragrance. 

Her new business, STTOLEN, once again uses flowers as a creative medium and focuses on floral design for intimate, bespoke events and brand collaborations. 

Claire’s writing has appeared in Image Magazine, The Sunday Independent, The Sunday Tribune, The Irish Independent and The Irish Examiner.
