Written by Yvonne Ashton | September 17, 2021

Our newest Mayesh Design Star, Tyson Lee of Mister Lee Designs, is Yvonne's very special guest! They sat down to chat about his first tutorial video featuring a floral wig, the story behind that wig design, sustainability, and, of course, answered audience questions. 

 



 

 

 

SHOW NOTES



  • I love having firsts and your design video is a first for us because you did a tutorial on how to create a floral wig. Can you tell me how you first came up with this design concept?

  • I don’t see too many everyday people walking in and asking for flower wigs. What are some uses for this type of design?
    • engagement/wedding/maternity shoots, editorial shoots, performance

  • What would you charge for a design like this?

  • I know you create so much more than flower wigs - what are your favorite types of designs?
    • "I am a sculptor of dying things"

  • I know you are in San Francisco so that flower supply issues are probably a bit different for you than the rest of the country, but I’m sure you are still feeling its effects. How are you handling the demand vs. supply issues?
    • "as a florist, you have to adapt all of the time"

  • Do you have a favorite color palette right now?

  • Do you have favorite types of flowers to work with?

  • As we all know our industry isn’t the most eco-friendly. How do you incorporate sustainability into your business & design?

  • Audience Question: How do you land hotel and/or private custom accounts? Corporate too? I would love to create with that freedom.
