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.

You should always feel confident in everything you wear, no matter what trend you fit or don't fit into.

If you want to play it safe, mix a lot of colors in the same tone and that is such an easy way to feel modern and feel a little confident.

A person's life is of their own making, and I take full responsibility for mine.

Choose something that you're passionate about. So for me, that's creating jobs for women who don't have a voice. I would like to be their voice until they're strong enough and on their feet to have their own and really be heard. The way that I can do that is not necessarily by hand-outs, because my hand-outs wouldn't be great enough to really affect change. It's by providing jobs.

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.
