Second-time guest Lewis Miller is the founder of Lewis Miller Design based out of New York City, and he has over 242,000 followers on Instagram as of today. He is a floral designer whose client list includes leading industry professionals in fashion, design, photography, art direction, and architecture such as Bulgari, Carolina Herrera, Mayor Blumberg, Chanel, Tiffany, Versace, Bergdorf Goodman, the Whitney Museum, and more.
The last time that Lewis was on the show was in September of 2020 when we were still very much in the thick of the COVID-19 pandemic, so he talks today about some updates and new developments since then. He discusses his book Flower Flash, what his flower flashes are and why he began them, what he learned about himself and his business because of the pandemic, whether or not he plans to take on a business partner, how he thrives when challenged, and so much more!
