Once I graduated from NYU, I started making custom vintage tees for my friends and it just took off from there.

Just watching the people on the streets of N.Y. is inspiring; there are so many styles and unique points of view. Fashion is very much inspired by the streets, has always been, and I'm sure it will continue to do so.

Every designer has to stand behind and believe in what they are creating.

I find N.Y. very inspiring; there is an amazing energy and flow of creativity in N.Y. like nowhere else.

I had always wanted to expand to beauty, but I knew I wanted to be able to translate my design aesthetic in an authentic way.

I'm not a make-up person, but I love wearable products that are easy to use, with fun packaging.
