Bia Ades is an Ikebana teacher dedicated to the Hijiri Ikenobo school of Japanese floral art. Her work reflects a deep appreciation for beauty, balance, and self-expression, qualities she brings gracefully into every arrangement. She currently serves as Treasurer of Sakura Virtual Ikebana, a global community that fosters connection and creativity through the practice of Ikebana.

With a background in interior design, Bia has spent years cultivating an intuitive sense of harmony, proportion, and spatial elegance. Her professional path also includes experience in furniture manufacturing and ceramics, enriching her understanding of form, texture, and craftsmanship—skills that naturally translate into her floral work.

Born and raised in São Paulo, Brazil, Bia has lived in Europe and now resides in the United States. This multicultural journey informs her distinctive approach to Ikebana.
