I'm inspired by different cultures around the world and love to incorporate these facets into my collection.

A great dress can make you remember what is beautiful about life.

I am definitely a person who supports mothers. I believe in having children. Maternity leave and all that stuff is super important to me. In terms of one-on-one with employees, being a mom helps me ground my roots to humanity. When someone is going through a personal issue, I can keep it on a human level.

As far as things I avoid, I always avoid following trends just because they're trends.

Someone's energy and aura and soul are so much more important - they don't compare to what you have on.

Don't give your power away to anybody. If you find something to do that you truly love, you'll be successful.

I believe that it doesn't matter where you work or what you have access to because anything can help. If you're working in an ice cream shop, you can ask your boss if you can give away twenty ice cream cones to an organization every Friday afternoon. It's really interesting to see what people are willing to help you with if you can make it easy for them.
