To be given the reins of creativity is a beautiful thing when you're used to just showing up to a casting and standing there having clothes put on you.

I don't have a background in design, so I think it's always about what I see in the world and what inspires me. So yes, I am designing for myself. I'm going through this whole evolution, which is a process of growing up and going from modeling to styling to designing.

I want to create a lifestyle niche for that cool girl who's really into fashion but not too obsessed with it.

I have literally just been in this place of zero fear. I just believe, as totally hippy bullsh*t as that sounds, anything's possible if you're willing to grab it and make it your own.

I'm really happy with everything that I've been fortunate enough to do and with the creative outlets I've been blessed to have.

I wouldn’t say I was really into fashion before modelling; I was into creation.

I was a total jock growing up. I went to super-dorky basketball clinics and was handpicked to play on a state team called the Texas Heat.
