STORY

​​

Sophie Rivers is the creative behind Ninebark Floral Design.

 

With a Degree in Graphic Design, Sophie's creative career began in Advertising, where she worked producing print-based campaigns for consumer brands. Wanting to explore opportunities, she went on to complete a Foundation Course in Floristy and combine her Advertising role with freelance work within the Floral Design Industry.

 

In 2010 Sophie travelled to France, USA and Canada, where an opportunity arose to work within a busy flower shop. During this time she discovered a passion for working in the fast-paced environment of event design which blended the logistical skills she had gained working in advertising with her background and education in design and floristry. 

 

Sophie established Ninebark in 2013 to continue to develop creatively and work directly with clients, something which she continues to find deeply satisfying and interesting about the creative process. 

 

Outside the flower studio, Sophie remains occasionally involved in brand strategy and continues to enjoy travelling, mountain biking, live music and being inspired at art exhibitions.
