Before pursuing my passion for creativity and the arts, I left college where I was studying art history to pursue a job in the investment banking world. It was being offered as a once in a lifetime opportunity. I took the brass ring, and ran with it and worked my way up the corporate ladder of Wall Street to Vice President for one of Europe's largest and most prestigious investment banks.
I never let my passion for flowers and design fade. I chose to take an early retirement package and at the age of 32, I left the world of banking to start my own design firm and Chad Michael Peters the company was born. From the beginning the creative, lush, elegant and earthy look of my designs coupled with the fact that everything creative about me is self taught, has made me one of the North East's most sought after designers. I have entertained and wowed crowds with stunning flowers in settings that will take your breath away. I have also have the amazing experience of decorating homes with the fabrics and colors inspired by nature that I love so much. My clients include local yokels, corporate titans, celebrities and even the former President and First Lady of the United States.
What started out as a small flower shop operating out of the basement of my own home, has grown into a floral inspired design studio and lifestyle services firm . Over the years that I have been working at it, my company has quickly grown into a leader here in the South Coast of Massachusetts, Cape Cod, Providence and the Boston Markets.
There is little doubt that the best is yet to come for my company. This year I will continue to build on my web presence with strong technology driven marketing endeavors. I look to gain market share in a difficult market environment with published pricing for established tiers of business and the launch of package pricing and value services to garner business from the budget conscious consumer. I am also excited about the use of production space at the famed Boston Flower Market. This outlet will allow an expansion North and will allow us to readily serve clients within the market of Boston.
The profitability of the firm has allowed me to give back to the communities that support my various creative endeavors. Since it's inception the company has had a deep commitment to charity and each year donates a large portion of profits to various charities including The New Bedford Art Museum, The American Cancer Society, The Himalayan Project, South Coast Hospitals Group and many other civic and community organizations.
In 2007, I am happy to say that I married the man of my dreams, Kevin. He and I, along with our gorgeous pugs, Daisy Doodle and Dunkin Hinds live in Fairhaven, Massachusetts.
