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.

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.

I don't care how small or big they are, insects freak me out.

I tend to like the most basic pieces with the perfect fit and fabric, like a simple tank.

No one ever taught me, and I never had formal classes in pattern making, so I was like, Okay, I'll just drape, and I'll sew as I pin it.

When you focus on the consumer, the consumer responds.

I really learn from something that really inspires me and it becomes something that I remember.
