Go with your instinct and your gut. It sounds cliché, but never give up and just keep on. If you really believe in it, you have to just dive in and go for it.

I think everyone shares a fear of failure - that you're only as good as your most recent collection. That's definitely a fear, but it's a fear that fuels me, that makes me want to work harder, that makes me take on more challenges.

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

I never really did sports growing up. Maybe that's why they intrigue me. The technology that goes into that clothing is steps ahead, so it's always been something I look towards.

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.

All my closest friends are the ones I made while in college or who knew me growing up. They keep me grounded, and I adore that about them.

I feel so thankful that I'm able to be a part of something that I love to wake up and run to work every day.
