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

I think that women can tend to look so feminine so easily. So it's interesting to see how we can look masculine and strong, too.

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

It's important to look people in the eye and have direct conversations. I actually have a rule that if an issue takes more than five sentences to explain it, don't send an email. Pick up the phone instead, because it'll take less time to resolve it.

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

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.

Dress for the story that you’d like to have people know about you before you even open your mouth.
