Ginny Early recognizes that being different is good.
“I have this crazy dream of building a community that nurtures creativity,” she said.
And that’s no surprise, Ginny is creative from her head to her toes. She owns a floral design company called Enemies of the Average, that specializes in flowers, styling and design.
The mother of two attended Covenant College in Lookout Mountain where she studied Sociology and Youth Ministry. Inspired by her mother and grandmother, she became interested in floral design. Ginny met Amy Osaba (a well known floral and event designer) and her dream grew from there. She learned more, and has been using her artistic vision to create beauty ever since.
We would like to thank Ginny for taking the time to meet with us and answer questions about her interests and love of all things creative to share with fellow members of our community.
