Amber Tseng (she/her) grew up in the suburbia of Michigan, where her favorite days were spent cultivating her garden and painting flowers with her mother. Her university experience took her from Los Angeles to Hong Kong, then from Hong Kong to Milan. Each city had its own peculiar flora, and it was in Milan that she stumbled into a memorable flower shop nestled in vines on a quiet street. The space provided a safe haven and peaceful escape from the hustle of city life, and shaped her vision of what she wanted to create in the future. A few years after returning to Los Angeles, she founded Wild Things in hopes of showcasing the way flowers can be freely tangled yet artfully arranged, all while connecting people. Amber focuses on creating dimensional floral moments for the Los Angeles area.
