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.

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

I always take a less-is-more approach to my routine, and use products that create a sun-kissed glow that can transition from day to night.

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.

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.
