Today we’d like to introduce you to Eduardo Lua.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
I started back in Guadalajara, Mexico, where I pursued my degree in fashion design; from there, I started working designing wedding dresses for a renowned brand in Mexico. After several years of working in the fashion industry, specifically with wedding dresses, I started learning more about weddings and events in general. I soon began experimenting with different areas within the industry. I then got the opportunity to work for “B&C Eventos” one of the greatest event companies in Guadalajara. That’s where I discovered my passion for flower design; the rest is history.
We all face challenges, but looking back, would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
One of my biggest struggles was gaining respect as a designer in my industry. It was hard for me to express my talent and feel accepted by the community. When I moved to the United States, I had to start from Zero. I had to work hard to gain the trust of the brides. I knew my potential, and I was confident about my talent, but I felt like I had to start all over again.
Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
I am a floral designer for all events; I specialize in weddings but have experience with diverse kinds of events. I am known for designing massive floral structures; I love the architectural side of 3D structures and discovered I have the skills to build anything from scratch. One of the things I am the proudest of is knowing that I come from a tiny town where I was born and raised and now live in one of the biggest cities in the U.S. I think what sets me apart from other designers is my ambitious creative mind, I sometimes think it’s so crazy how I bring things to life from my wild imagination.
Have you learned any interesting or important lessons due to the Covid-19 Crisis?
Yes, one of the most important lessons I learned during covid was that one has to be emotionally and physically agile and be ready to change and adapt to whatever comes to you.
Also, experiencing stress and pressure and by living in uncertainty can push me to become even more creative with everything I do.
