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.

I started designing and getting into cutting and sewing, I also started learning how to do patterns and tech packs. From there I transitioned from challenging myself to make T-shirts to starting to make custom pieces for celebrities.

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

I wanted to give people an experience. I wanted them to get their money's worth.

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.

Even when I was just designing T-shirts people really gravitated to them.

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