My resolution is to make positivity, thankfulness and happiness my new mantra.

My parents had a factory, so I was linked to the textile and fashion industry.

I cannot live without art: it excites me, it challenges me, and it leads me to the next thing.

I do go back to Brazil once a year. I miss my family.

I just hate people who are lazy. To be on my team, you have to have energy and a sense of wanting to learn. That really excites me.

I don't love reading so much, but I love book shopping. It's just because I don't have much time.

My mom. She was quite a character. Open-minded. It was a very small town, and she started her own business, manufacturing children's wear. She was very dynamic. Her death was like the umbilical cord being cut. That's when I moved to America.
