When I look at pictures when I was younger, I do the quintessential cringe.

I am inspired by life, past experiences, what's to come, women around me, art, colors, paintings, and emotions.

Women are not taught to get a massage or do anything for ourselves because it makes us feel extraordinarily guilty. But the more we can fill ourselves up with things that make us happy, the happier we'll be, the happier our children will be, the more we have to give, and the more loving we'll be.

At the end of the day, I want to create collections that, although I am inspired by very creative women, I want my customer to walk away with a silhouette that she doesn't even know what collection it comes from. That it just lasts in her wardrobe and makes her feel strong and confident and hopefully happy.

Everyone should work; it's good for the soul.

I have known that I wanted to be a designer since I was 8 years old.

I worry that my daughters are too taken care of.
