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

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.

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.

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

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.
