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

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

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

Just watching the people on the streets of NY is inspiring, there are so many styles and unique points of views. Fashion is very much inspired by the streets, has always been and I'm sure it will continue to do so.
