Once I graduated from NYU, I started making custom vintage tees for my friends and it just took off from there.

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

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.

I'm not a make-up person, I always take a less-is-more approach to my routine. Less is more: "no makeup" makeup.

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