Meet William Lynch
William Lynch is the vision behind Lynch Design.
Even at a young age, Will appreciated intricate designs, attention to detail and products that exude luxury. In his travels, he’s seen firsthand how luxury floral arrangements elevate and breathe life into an already beautiful space.
Will’s inspiration comes from every aspect of design, from architecture to art. He particularly appreciates the modern floral trends coming from New York City and Paris.
Creating custom arrangements, Will has an impeccable eye for design and an innate appreciation of the small details that, when executed correctly, turn a floral arrangement
into a stunning work of art.
Will is a young entrepreneur who stays on the cutting edge of creative, new floral designs. He is unconstrained by traditional, outdated trends, leveraging his fresh eye to only the most creative designs.

Phrases to avoid
Just as there are keywords that embody the Lynch Design brand, there are words and phrases that should not be used. These words do not typify the brand, but cheapen it, muddle it or bring negative attention.
“One-stop shop”This sounds Cheap. Instead say, “ ful l - serv ice experience” or “ f lowers for any occasion.”
“We are better than our competi tors ”This sounds snobby and is a negat ive s tatement. Instead tel l the posi t ives of the Lynch Design brand.
“Setup”Ins tead of saying “setup,” use the word “ instal lat ion.” Lynch Designs are instal led into spaces just as works of ar t are instal led into gal ler ies.
