Susan Christensen is the head designer and founder of Orlando, after beginning her floral career in New Zealand she travelled and designed in both the United States and Europe.

Susan settled in London and designed for Kenneth Turner of Mayfair. During her years there she had the opportunity to create flowers for European Royalty, Film Stars and London's high society.

Under the auspices of Kenneth Turner she travelled and created floral designs in such places as Monaco, Paris, and Capri. Once she returned to New Zealand she founded Orlando to share her love of flowers.

People often ask where the company name Orlando came from, for Susan the word Orlando captures the essence of beauty.

It is related to England's Bloomsbury period and the old world of beauty as described by poets and authors in the 18th century.
