Brad Schmidt, AIFD, CFD
Brad Schmidt is a floral artist and holiday design genius. He turns the ordinary into spectacular, turns dull into brilliant and achieves it with the ease and grace of a master painter at his easel. One can stand back and watch the apparition take shape.
Just ask Steven Spielberg or Denzel Washington. Or a whole list of Hollywood high-enders who’ve experienced Brad’s magic touch with any combination of petal, leaf and stem.
“I always prefer to translate my client’s personality into their floral designs,” says Brad. “The inspiration for design comes from within, you have to follow your heart, but you also have to transcend that to incorporate the client’s sense of beauty.”
Hollywood is not the only town to recognize his genius. A leading Asian floral and decor importer regularly flies him all over the world to create the look, color and style for their holiday and Christmas lines.
Brad has taken his rare talent into all aspects of decoration, creating huge floral events for award shows, corporate parties, celebrity functions, showrooms, individual residences and even floral shops.
He designs fresh and artificial product for companies in Venezuela, Rio de Janeiro, Mexico, Tokyo and an expanding number of South American countries. A recent display of Brad’s work in the Dominican Republic led to a new association with Oscar De La Renta’s design team.
His worldwide recognition was highlighted when he was tapped by the exclusive home decor catalog, Frontgate, as a featured designer and cover guy with his own holiday decor collection, and he is now a part of Frontgate’s elite design squad. He was the featured interior designer on HGTV’s Designer’s Challenge show and will appear again in the upcoming Christmas Designer’s Challenge.
When he takes on a project, he sets about creating a unique world. The word “APPARITION” is a good description. He leaves behind a fantasy environment that transports all who enter into a more beautiful and, yes, happier place.
