About us
Lindsey L Vandevier - Owner/Lead Designer
Lindsey has been admiring the beauty all around her and creating her own fantasies for as long as she can remember. Growing up in a non-stop creative environment and surrounded by a family of artists, Lindsey has had a lifetime of preparation for all manner of creative challenges.
Having obtained an MFA in theatrical design from Carnegie Mellon, Lindsey has over 10 years experience in creating unique spaces and artistic designs for the theater which has given her a great understanding of space, light and structure as well as an artists eye for color and composition. All of which she brings to her creations, from the smallest floral element to the grandest celebratory environment
Lindsey has always been a dreamer and her love of bringing new fantasies to life and being surrounded by the beauty of nature lead her from theater into florals and events. After attending Flower School NY, Lindsey worked with some of NYC's most-prestigious florists such as Belle Fleur and Tin Can Studios before venturing out on her own to open Rosaspina.
Lindsey is beyond thankful to the Essex County community and all her amazing clients for embracing Rosaspina and can’t wait to help you bring your floral vision to life!
Lisa Cardoso - Designer
A lover of plants, Lisa came to Rosaspina in search of a better way to incorporate this passion into her day to day life after realizing how much joy it brought her throughout the pandemic. She has always had a love of working with her hands and getting creative and after initially stepping into the world of floral design by way of wedding freelancing and formal classes she was itching for something more. And Rosaspina is so glad she found us!
Starting as a shop assistant Lisa quickly proved that she had so much more to offer. Her attention to detail and eye for color show through in her designs, as does her love for creating them. Lisa has learned so much since joining the team and is looking forward to learning more and continuing to grow as a florist.
When she’s not at work she’s busy taking care of her ever growing plant collection or enjoying time with her boyfriend, family and friends.
Where did the name “Rosaspina” come from?
The name Rosaspina is the Italian name for the fairy tale Sleeping Beauty - directly translated to “rose thorn” or Briar Rose, which is Sleeping Beauty’s given name in the original Grimm’s story. The name is a reflection of Lindsey's passion for the romantic culture and language of Italy and the origins, nostalgia, and fantasy of fairy tales - themes which inspire not only her custom florals and designs but also her life as a whole.
