Ivan Gilkes is a Brooklyn-based floral designer and creative director who brings a sculptural, story-driven approach to every arrangement. After years designing weddings, events, and installations for clients like Google, HBO, Meta, and Rolex, he founded floralstud.io to explore the emotional and architectural sides of floral design. Ivan’s teaching blends curiosity, intuition, and design storytelling—always with an emphasis on how flowers make us feel as much as how they look.
