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

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.

I want to be recognized but I don't seek it out.

Starting out is very difficult if you don't have a clientele.

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

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