As a young girl, what did you dream of becoming?
"I knew I wanted to be a designer at 14. My dad taught me how to sew at a really young age. He did upholstery in our basement, so I had access to everything I needed. My teenage years were my first glimpse into what would be a never-ending cycle of fashion rebellion and perpetually feeling misunderstood. I learned later that being misunderstood is one of the gifts of being a visionary. It was a state I didn't like to be in, so I forced myself to over-develop my left brain so I could articulate my vision in a way that more linear-thinking people could understand."
