Maria Zamani Boroujeni
Co-Founder | The Curator of Creativity
Maria brings a blend of creativity and precision to beauty. With a background in business and a heart drawn to interiors, she sees the home as a canvas for serenity. Her eye is sharp, her taste refined, and her philosophy simple: when a space feels calm, life follows. At Neil, she curates with intention—balancing function, form, and feeling in every piece.
Lina Pournasiri
Co-Founder | The Artist in Residence
Lina is a maker at heart. Her journey has moved through fashion, photography, and design—but always with one thread: creating beauty that feels lived-in. Guided by instinct and layered experience, she brings warmth, soul, and storytelling to Neil’s every detail. Her work doesn’t just decorate; it whispers, it welcomes.
Objects That Hold Meaning
Neil was founded with a singular intention — to create spaces that feel personal, grounded, and elevated. Every item we offer is designed not only to be admired but to be lived with. Our pieces don’t just decorate; they tell stories, spark conversation, and create pause.
Born in Toronto from the complementary visions of Maria and Lina, Neil blends modern aesthetics with artisanal depth. Maria brings a background in business and a love of intentional interiors, while Lina’s creative eye is honed through years in fashion, art, and spatial design.
Together, they shape Neil as a living, evolving studio — one where beauty isn’t loud, but deeply felt. Where every piece is made to last and designed to connect.
