My first job was in retail at the age of 14, and I have worked in the industry ever since.

Traveling teaches us that we're all the same. Some of us just encounter more opportunities.

Because my business life is so busy, my home is really my sanctuary. That is where I reflect and spend quality time with my girls.

If anything happens to me, I hope that I would've raised my children in a way that they know how to take care of themselves. I want them to know how to make themselves happy. It's important to work in a field that you absolutely love so that even when problems arise, you love what you do.

I think that a woman wears so many hats, we have so many aspects to us that we're not just one thing. We represent so much within us and that kind of comes across for me as a designer through mixing prints and colors.

I'm thankful I grew up the way I did. It made me a hard worker and insightful to other people's lives.

When you have children love is always there in the best form.
