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

Dressing for yourself and not a man is definitely something I advocate.

When I talk to young girls about clothes, I tell them to show a lot of brains.

I believe clothing tell a story.

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.

Choosing a job or business is the same thing. I'm not the best one to advise someone how to make billions of dollars; I don't know how to do that. But what I do know is how to create something that you love, and once you do that, you will have success. You just will because you'll love working on it, and anything truly authentic, the universe blesses.

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