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.

I love to smell like roses, literally all day!

I'm a big proponent of young women dressing appropriately in the workplace to get ahead. We need to demand respect as women, and part of that involves how we present ourselves.

I can't design anything unless I'm excited by it, meaning I have an urge to wear it.

I realize I never stand out in a room unless I'm feeling balanced, centered and happy. It sounds really corny but it's very, very true.

I am definitely a person who supports mothers. I believe in having children. Maternity leave and all that stuff is super important to me. In terms of one-on-one with employees, being a mom helps me ground my roots to humanity. When someone is going through a personal issue, I can keep it on a human level.

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