I thought I would attend school and get an assistant position and work my way up but being in NY and seeing the pace of everything, is very inspiring.

Take people's advice and guidance in the beginning, but always follow your instincts first

If someone realises the piece they are wearing is inspired by me then it only broadens my audience.

I wear sports clothes because I feel comfortable in them.

My mom would take me to restaurants, and the first thing I'd ask for would be a pen and a napkin, and I'd sketch shoes and shoes and shoes.

I was in fashion school, my brother has a law background, and my sister-in-law had worked in production, but none of us had a proper fashion business education.

A lot of my work is a matter of reacting to surprises in life.
