Somebody once told me if you're doing what you're supposed to you don't have to force it.

I believe that if you work hard enough and do things the right way recognition will come.

Even though I wasn't making a lot of money I was enjoying what I was doing.

I didn't go to school for fashion, I didn't have anybody to teach me anything about fashion - that's all I knew how to do, graphic design.

The thing is you can be a great designer but you can also be lazy or not understand the other person's preferences or be more concerned about being a star than being good at what you do.

I wasn't able to afford high-end brands or any of that, so I grew up on streetwear.

I was at work but my soul wasn't there, my body was there but I wasn't connecting to what I was doing. Eventually I decided to get out of there and do something I believe in.
