Beija Flor Designs

BY JESSICA ALICIA MORATAYA COTRIM

Jessica Alicia is the owner and head designer of Beija Flor Designs.

{“Beija Flor” means hummingbird and ‘to kiss a flower’ in Portuguese. pronounced: Bay-Jah Flor}

As a first generation SF native with roots tracing back to El Salvador and Brazil,

she takes her trials and tribulations and turns them into deep delicate works of floral art.

Jessica strives to design with care, using flowers as a medium to express her emotions, and yours.

In 2010, Jessica was introduced to the Floral & Plant Industry through a neighborhood intern program that matched her with a Floral Event Studio in the Dog Patch district in San Francisco. Since then she has kept gaining floral experience, from Freelancing and Designing at various well known flower shops and floral design studios, to working as an indoor plant tech throughout the Bay Area, until launching Beija Flor Designs online for delivery & events in 2016.

During the end of the crazy year that was 2020, Jessica and her partner, Jose, found the opportunity to open up their first brick&mortar flower location together. With heavy hearts after Jose’s passing in February of 2021 their families came together to keep blooming and flourishing together, and keep his name alive by continuing to hold down the location he had such a huge part of opening.

Beija Flor Designs - The Flower Shop/Studio is located in the Excelsior District of San Francisco at 4786 Mission Street 94112.

They are open for walk ins Tuesday - Saturday, and take pre-orders

for special events, projects, deliveries and pick ups every day!
