The Art Deco movement, architecture from that period and sort of the industrial aesthetic from that period. Art Deco meets tribal kind of thing. All that is my primal inspiration.

I might do a film someday for the collection. I love designing sets and creating environments, in film school and for my own presentations. I love telling stories.

To me, jewelry is a natural progression and there is something so meaningful and magical about creating that one of a kind, special piece.

I'm always interested in collaborating with designers. I love Gaultier. I know that's kind of a high hope!

Luxury is something that makes you feel beautiful. I have a vintage silk kimono that definitely makes me feel beautiful and luxurious.

I'm listening to Gogol Bordello, which is totally random, but I love him. Just finished the new Joan Didion book, Blue Nights, which I loved. I haven't been to the movies in God knows how long. I haven't been doing anything but living in a bubble, making jewelry!

I'm always inspired by the hidden treasures, unique personalities and New York's overall charm.
