I am not ever in the business of making anyone feel bad.

If you actually keep things very organized and clutter-free, you can have more furniture than you think you can in a small space.

I tend not to wear ties very often. I'm usually in old stuff: Hermes or Marc Jacobs boots and jeans and a T-shirt and a leather jacket or a jean jacket.

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.

Everywhere in my house are these little things that have meanings and make me think of great memories.

I always want objects in my home that have a connection to me or something I've loved. It's still stuff, but it's stuff that has meaning.

The truth is that things matter. They have to, they are what we live with and touch each and every day. They represent what we've seen, who we've loved and where we hope to go next. They remind us of the good times and the rough patches and everything in between that's made us who we are.
