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 was 40 before I learned that 'No' was a complete sentence.

Our mission began with finding solutions for families, especially busy moms.

I think I'm too much of a control freak.

I've learned so many things and a lot of things I've learned the hard way. I look at failure as education in that respect I'm very well educated.

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

Don't just work for the money; that will bring only limited satisfaction
