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

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've always loved fashion so much and I didn't have access to the kind of fashion I really wanted, so I would do vintage shopping.

If you really want success in life, it's two-fold. You want to be able to take care of yourself and take care of yourself well, but there's the other side in which you want to be able to take care of yourself so that you're a happy person, so that you're passing those qualities and those tools onto your children.

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

At the end of the day, I want to create collections that, although I am inspired by very creative women, I want my customer to walk away with a silhouette that she doesn't even know what collection it comes from. That it just lasts in her wardrobe and makes her feel strong and confident and hopefully happy.

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.
