I think my parents were immigrants, you know, so I guess I would be first generation. Growing up in California.

I don't have a life where it's galas, posh affairs. It's me, my dog and a sofa. And a TV.

Since an early age, I've been intrigued by the idea of design evolution.

My mother has become my daughter and I've become her guardian.
