I had always wanted to expand to beauty, but I knew I wanted to be able to translate my design aesthetic in an authentic way.

I had an appreciation for clothes and style starting at a young age, my mom was always very fashionable and I loved playing dress up in her closet. So I think my passion for design was always there.

Every designer has to stand behind and believe in what they are creating.

I like to go out, but sometimes it's nice to stay cozy at home, watching movies or TV, especially early in the week.

I love looking at vintage for inspiration; go see movies, art galleries, watch people on the street, you have to really keep your eyes open and see how you can reinterpret the old and make it modern and relevant again.

I find NY very inspiring, there is an amazing energy and flow of creativity in NY like nowhere else.
