Describe your workday in three words.

Think. Outside. Box.

What tools could you not live or work without?

My scissors, a needle and some thread.

What steps brought you to this position?

A love and a passion to create things that I see in Vogue and Elle magazine (and make them) affordable yet one of a kind, and the ability to share that with a younger generation of consumers, to help them realize that you don't have to spend a lot of money to have these items.


What is the strangest aspect of your job?

Waking up at 2 in the morning to sew and deciding if I want to listen to talk radio or some of my favorite music.

What's the best thing about your job?

When I'm selling my own product, it's realizing that I'm providing a product that makes 
someone happy.

What advice do you have for someone who is interested in becoming a teacher or a fashion designer?
