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.

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

I’m not like most designers, who have to set sail on an exotic getaway to get inspired. Most of the time, it’s on my walk to work, or sitting in the subway and seeing something random or out of context.

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.

There's a tendency to think that young designers only do fantasy fashion, but I'm more interested in making clothes that women can afford.

When I decided to launch my first knitwear line, it was because I saw a void in the basics category. The editors were always looking for cool, fashion-forward tees and sweaters. So that's where I started.

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.
