TRANSFORM YOUR STORY INTO A LASTING IMPRESSION

WITH MAY 18 FLORALS

MEET THE FOUNDER

Ritesh never set out to become a floral designer.

His journey began in film—producing stories, decorating sets, and shaping emotional experiences. But it was during a season of personal heartbreak and disappointment that florals found him.

In the search for joy, he turned toward beauty—and what began as a simple act of healing became a passion he couldn’t ignore.

​

Today, as Chief Experience Curator of May 18 Florals, Ritesh creates bold, sculptural arrangements that feel cinematic in scale and soulful in spirit. His work blends story, setting, and emotion—designed to stop people in their tracks and stay with them long after.

​

When he’s not designing, you’ll find him exploring new flavors, signing up for unexpected classes, or sharing slow moments with family and friends. A homebody at heart, he builds community and connection wherever he goes.
