From Jerusalem to Williamstown: A Journey of Pixels, Petals, and Purpose.
The Creative Philosophy
"Creativity is the bridge between our daily selves and our soul." — Liza Rose
I believe that art is not just what we make; it is how we heal and how we connect. My career has been defined by two distinct chapters that now flow together as The Rose Buffet.
The Designer’s Eye (1998 – Present)
With a Master of Design from RMIT and over 25 years in the fast-paced FMCG industry, my foundation is built on strategy. I spent decades navigating the world of high-stakes branding and packaging, ultimately winning Gold at the Australian Packaging Design Awards.
As a mentor to emerging designers, I’ve always believed that great design must do more than look pretty, it must tell a story that lasts. But in 2019, I realized my own story needed a new medium.
The Spiritual Pilgrimage
In search of deeper meaning, I traveled back to my roots in Jerusalem. Walking through the ancient streets and vibrant markets, I found a different kind of "design", one that was organic, fragrant, and grounded in the earth.
I returned to Melbourne with a clear vision: to pair my technical design precision with the raw, ephemeral beauty of nature. I studied at the Melbourne Flower School, and The Rose Buffet was born, a space where botanical art meets strategic brand thinking.
Turning Pain into Power (The Pink Fundraiser)
My work is inextricably linked to my community. Following my own journey with breast cancer, I launched the Annual Pink Fundraiser.
This isn't just an event; it is a legacy project. By bringing people together through floral workshops, soap making, and shared stories, we raise vital funds for breast cancer research and support. It is my way of ensuring that every "petal" we arranged at The Rose Buffet contributes to a greater bloom of hope.
The "Creatrix" Today
Today, I operate as a Multi-disciplinary Artist and Consultant.
I help brands find their visual voice through award-winning packaging.
I help couples and event hosts create sensory memories through bespoke floristry.
I help individuals rediscover their own creative spark through our community workshops.
