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.
