Are you self-taught or did you study fashion design? I am self-taught. I grew up in the beauty industry and am actually a hairdresser by trade.
What’s your greatest strength? I always strive to be humble towards everyone and about everything. We have been so blessed with the positive response towards the brand. I am in awe every day as I watch my vision grow.
Who or what has been your greatest fashion influence? I wouldn’t say there is any one person or location that influences me. I take inspiration from everywhere, usually the most unexpected of places.
What is your personal fashion philosophy? While this isn’t directly tied to fashion, it is a personal quote I live by: “Put your heart into your product and what you believe. Try to make people happy and you’ll always be successful.”
