Rachel Kelly Bio:

Short ‘n snappy

Rachel Kelly is the creator behind the half-glass-full-inspired brand, Make Lemonade. She has a passion for colour, is eternally optimistic, and believes in magic. Her practice of 'playing with flowers' has ignited the artist within as she explores hanging installations, painting canvas, and what the power of flowers can do for our community.

Longer & in 3rd person

Rachel Kelly is a motorcycle ridin’, community-buildin’, florist in Toronto.💐

Like a lot of small business owners, her journey isn’t linear, but what makes her stand out is her eternal optimism and passion for colour. From the opening (and closing) of her coworking office, crafting email magic, to whipping up unique floral creations, good design is at the heart of everything she does.

She had an epiphany in the midst of the pandemic: her dreams were bigger than the work she was doing on her laptop, so she went after ‘em.

With a degree in fine arts, a sharp set of snips, and an eye for design, she jumped at the opportunity to go to Toronto Flower School to scratch an itch. The itch became a full-on career switch and she’s so glad she made it.

From hauling tonnes of greens for milestone celebrations, and scaling 15ft ladders to craft hanging installs for brand launches, she loves every moment of making flower magic.
