On Thai, AIFD

On is well known in the Capital Region for his exotic contemporary designs and lush romantic arrangements. Long before he was admitted to the American Institute of Floral Designers in 1990, On was winning accolades for the unique style of his work.

He exhibits locally and throughout the Northeast and has won numerous awards, including Teleflora's Peoples Choice Award and Best of Show in the Albany International Flower Show. His creative use of over 2500 roses in a booth design for Seagroatt Riccardi, Ltd. won him Best of Show at the Connecticut Florist Annual Trade Show, held in Hartford, CT in 1998 and 1999.

On is generous with his talent and demonstrates regularly before garden clubs and wholesalers in the Northeast. In 1995 he was invited to teach contemporary design at Club in the Park, a leading garden club in the United Kingdom. Highlights of his demonstration career include the annual NYS Museum Fundraiser, the 1996 Federated Clubs for NYS Annual Spring Meeting, and in 1998 he made presentations to the New Jersey and Pennsylvania federated garden clubs. In addition, On designed the florals for the 1997 ad campaign of W.J. Cowee, Inc., a manufacturer of wooden products used in floral design.
