Architect of atmosphere.
Hi, I’m Ashleigh - a florist, storyteller, and the hands behind Orphic Arcane. This work is deeply personal to me. My business was born in honour of my firstborn son, Parker, whose light I now carry forward through flowers and design.
I began my work in floristry, learning how form, texture, scent, and light shape emotion. For years, I created beauty for a single day, experiences designed to bloom briefly, then disappear. Over time, that wasn’t enough.
The work began asking for more space. More permanence. More immersion.
Today, my practice has evolved into immersive design, creating sculptural environments, atmospheric installations, and spatial compositions that are meant to be entered, felt, and remembered. I design worlds rather than moments, allowing intuition and materiality to guide each project.
My approach is slow and considered, led by feeling before form. I’m drawn to depth over display, and to spaces that carry a quiet emotional weight.
Orphic Arcane is the studio through which this work lives — for those who understand that the most powerful environments are the ones that linger long after you’ve left them.
