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.

My biggest influences are strong, creative women that chart their own path, lead their own lives and drive the course of history.

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.

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.

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

I always keep a woman's body in mind, accentuating her best features.

When I look at pictures when I was younger, I do the quintessential cringe.
