Evan M. Euripidou - Owner and Lead Designer
Evan's passion for flowers and events started in his backyard, where he spent endless springs and summer's gardening with his mother. Over the years, Evan has spent his time and talents not only creating gorgeous landscapes for his family and friends, but designing and decorating homes and numerous events. Evan's first paid event was a total-room transformation for Schalmont Middle School's 8th grade dance in 2002. Since then, Evan has been the sole designer and planner for all of St. Sophia's Greek Fests, along with numerous weddings, dinner dances and fundraising events.
In December 2007, Evan purchased New Scotland Florist on New Scotland Avenue in Albany, NY. By the end of January 2008, Evan had completely re-vamped the inside of this typical florist and made it into Albany's premiere design and flower studio- Anthology Studio. Since opening its' doors, Anthology Studio has not only gained state-wide recognition, but has also been personally invited to participate in BBrooks Fine Flowers premiere designer wire-service.
Anthology Studio prides itself on being a custom-design studio. Evan never likes to do anything twice. His mind is constantly racing with new and vibrant ideas for arrangements and decorations. His desk is always covered in sketches and drawings of upcoming events.
Anthology Studio designs solely for the satisfaction of our valued clientele. Evan's passion for flowers and events has made him a staple in the capital regions vision of high-style and uncompromised design.
