EMMELINE LUCILLA SIMPSON

Founder and Principal Designer

A true flower child– Emmeline was destined to work closely with nature. She grew up in her family’s flower shop Blossoms, wherein she was a curious and enthusiastic admirer of her mum’s classically English and European floral style. From there, Emmeline began to cultivate her own eye for design.

Since then, Emmeline has worked in the world of interiors as well as helped establish one of Toronto’s leading, multi-locational nurseries’ Custom Design service. Her 10+ years of industry insight and a characteristic passion for paving her own way in life has led her to where she is now– at the intersection of florals and everyday living.

Emmeline’s vision is to create moments for people to draw their awareness towards nature, experiencing its boundless beauty. Her sophisticated style is refined and elegant in the most natural way. She sensitively identifies and accentuates nature’s splendour.

Her connection to nature continues to lead her, in perpetuum, towards exploring it’s world beyond just the lens of design. She is
a graduate of the University of Toronto’s Environmental Arts Program (Victoria College) and a clinically-trained Herbalist (RH).

A rewarding career in film and television production design has prepared Arianna to handle anything with grace. She is excited about good design, in all forms, and her disciplines compliment the Vetiver vision well. Arianna’s skilled, technical insights and education make her a must-have in all aspects of our projects, especially those on a larger scale. This includes our garden design work and interior plantscapes– projects rooted in detail and precision. She asks the right questions and delivers on client requests with ease and integrity; two principles at the core of what we do here at Vetiver.
