It's hard sometimes to take a step back and realize what's happened because you're always trying to move forward. You're always looking at the next palette.

My mom would put me in these preppy little suits and slick my hair to the side. I have these baby pictures of me where I'm this little preppy kid with a sweater tied around my neck.

I mean, I've always said I have an amazing team and network of friends and people that I work with that, you know, inspire me and enable me to do what I do.

The things that you can't really foresee and that kind of surprise you, and a lot of times they are bad, but other times, they bring something different and new to the table.

Time passes faster and faster, but with every project I always want to find the next challenge and the next challenge is just as exciting as the previous one.

In the beginning I pushed toward perfection, but it takes time to get to certain places.

If you're designing out of a purely creative place, not thinking of the girl, then the consumer's not going to take notice.
