WITH MAY 18 FLORALS
HI THERE!
MEET THE FOUNDER
I’m Ritesh, the Chief Experience Curator at May 18 Florals. With a background in Film Producing, Production Design, and Advertising, I’ve always been drawn to storytelling and crafting memorable moments.
​
My journey into floral design began as a pursuit of joy and beauty—and it quickly grew into a passion for creating bold, show-stopping installations that people can’t stop talking about.
I’m all about bringing together captivating words, thoughtfully designed collaterals, and dramatic floral arrangements to create experiences that feel seamless and unforgettable.
​
Outside of work, you’ll probably find me exploring new restaurants, diving into a new class (pole dancing, pottery, street jazz—you name it!), or enjoying quality time with family and friends. I’m a proud homebody at heart, but I love building community wherever I go.
