When I started my company, many people said I shouldn't launch it as a retail concept because it was too big a risk. They told me to launch as a wholesaler to test the waters - because that was the traditional way.

I would love to do special products for specific countries. As we go ahead and learn the territories, we're going to do exclusives for each area.

It's a gift to be able to give access.

For me, if I can design beautiful things that have the price be lower, I am thrilled.

I like being behind the scene.

Being an entrepreneur isn’t just a job title, and it isn’t just about starting a company. It’s a state of mind. It’s about seeing connections others can’t, seizing opportunities others won’t, and forging new directions that others haven’t.

If it doesn’t scare you, you’re probably not dreaming big enough.
