I hate sets. I've always hated sets. I think that if you have a dining room set, break it up!

Layering in different patterns will keep things from appearing too studied.

I always had this New York fantasy of living in a glass high-rise.

As a kid, I think I rearranged the rooms of almost every house on the block.

I didn't necessarily want to be famous growing up, but I knew I would be a good famous person because I'm not offended if somebody comes up to me and knows things about me and wants to engage me in a conversation.

As a designer, everything is always about aesthetics mixed in with functionality and having that visual appeal. But you learn fast as a new parent with an infant that if it’s not deeply practical as well, then forget about it. Style wise, I wanted to design items that would work well in any nursery - regardless of gender.
