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

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

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

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.

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 out doing everything on a custom scale and when that started paying the bills I started making more pieces.

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