Our second 2021 Mayesh Design Star, Gilberto Espinoza of Dogwood & Fir, joined me for our latest Mornings with Mayesh. In the first half of the show, we talked about his debut design video that launched last week, “Croquet Party Tablescape” and then we discussed starting a business during a pandemic, the importance of floral education in Gilberto’s life, along with answering any other questions from the live audience.
Stay tuned for the next show & keep on sending in your floral questions! Below you will find the podcast, video replay, and show notes.

GENERAL QUESTIONS
- You have been a designer for about 4 years and then when the pandemic hit. And you decided to open your own business? Tell me more about that? How has the pandemic shaped your business model?
- I feel like so many designers are self-taught. You, however, decided to go to floral design school and worked at a flower shop. How have those experiences shaped you into the designer you are today?
