I consider taking a road trip with my husband to be the epitome of happiness. It's been so hectic lately that it's been hard to plan one, but we always drive to North Carolina, where he's from, for Christmas. We'll be doing that again soon.

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

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

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.

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.

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