Brand Partnership & Marketing Associate

💐About Us:

FreshCut Paper was created by renowned designer Peter Hewitt in 2020. Our life-sized pop-up floral bouquets consist of whimsical and breathtaking blooms that are wilt-proof and crafted to last a lifetime.  Our paper sculptures are affordable, environmental, artful, and lasting.  We are poised to take a bite out of the $8 billion fresh cut flower industry and the $6 billion greeting card market..  Our product is a compelling, contemporary, alternative way to send flowers and yes they are beautiful.  

Beyond having a fraction of the carbon footprint of imported flowers, we plant a tree for every bouquet sold, and partner with 1% for the Planet, an organization and global movement that tirelessly works to tackle our planet’s most pressing environmental issues.

We are located in the historical Bradford Mill alongside a community of start-ups and artists.
