After finishing theology studies in the university he moved to the Estonian capital to start apprenticeship in a well known flower shop.
In 2003, he decided to open his own shop “Masha”, in Tallinn as he wanted to create his own style. He still runs it successfully while finding time to participate as Estonian competitor in Interflora World Cup in Berlin. He is a teacher and is fluent in English and Russian too.

Frédéric started studying landscape gardening and horticulture before branching out into floristry. After the necessary floristry training and successfully passing the exams, everything changed very quickly for this talented man. His record of achievements is pretty impressive, considering the strong competition in France. In 2003, he received the title of Best Apprentice France (MAF), three years after that, he was second in the French Championship and in 2007, he received the silver in the French Young Talent Interflora Championship. In 2011, the quality of his work and exceptional craftsmanship was recognized when he earned the prestigious title Best Craftsman in France (MOF).
Characterised as technician, his work is often very architectural with a mastery of textures. Frédéric is a professional international teacher and gives demonstrations and workshops in France and abroad. He is a passionate teacher and continues to pass on that passion, as well as his knowledge.
