About

I'm Tessa, the paper flower artist behind Fleurel, based in Hobsonville Point, Auckland. I handcraft each flower petal by petal, leaf by leaf, creating blooms that last — whether it's a gift, a wedding bouquet, or a keepsake for a special moment.

By day I work full-time as a software engineer, and by night (and weekends) you'll find me surrounded by crepe paper, paints, and floral wire. What began as a relaxing creative outlet has grown into a small side business, and I'm excited to share my work with you.

At Fleurel, I treat every flower as a small piece of art — shaped slowly, and made to be kept.
