I won't give up my day job of design.

Modeling was another job like some of the other ones I had. Working as a cashier, I delivered newspapers, I worked in a retirement home feeding elderly people. . . so I never stopped and thought about, boy, I'm a successful model.

I always knew I belonged on the other side of the lens.

I intentionally built a business that has absolutely nothing to do with appearance.

I was not making enough time to take care of me.

The mission statement of my company, Kathy Ireland Worldwide, is to find solutions for families, especially busy moms. I'm reaching out to busy moms because that's what I am. That's what I know, and I know this woman has been underserved.

I won't give up my day job of design.
