Mornings with Mayesh: Drew Rios on Collaboration, Creativity & COVID
Our first 2021 Mayesh Design Star, Drew Rios of Rogue&Fox Floral Co, came back onto the show. She answered all of the questions that came in about this month's design video, Floral Art Wall, that touched on planning, products, design longevity, and pricing. In addition, Drew gave an update on how her Valentine's Day collaboration went, planning during the pandemic, battling creative block & so much more.
Stay tuned for the next show & keep on sending in your floral questions! Below you will find the podcast, video replay, and show notes.
