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.

As far as inspiration goes, I'm constantly inspired by traveling, symbols, magic and different cultural traditions around the world.

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

Seeing my ideas come to reality. Seeing how happy it makes other people to wear them. Seeing them on other people makes me the happiest.

I love how significant jewelry is throughout the world and throughout time. People have been adorning themselves with jewelry for years and its one of the oldest forms of art and design. This is something that has and will always inspire me.

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

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