The only thing Martha and I have in common is that we both used to model. Martha Stewart is extremely talented. Her designs are picture perfect. Our philosophy is life is messy, and rather than being afraid of those messes we design products that work the way we live.

I believe there are three keys to success. For me it is keeping my priorities in order: It's my faith and my family, and then the business.

It's been an extraordinary journey. I have learned so much along the way. I entered the modeling industry as a business person already. I always knew I belonged on the other side of the camera.

I'm a curious person. I like to ask questions.

I have to say I've made many mistakes, and been humbled many, many times. But you know what? It's never too late to learn.

So many young people say, 'I'm just going to see what happens.' It's so much more powerful to make things happen and have a plan.

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