What are the essential tools of your trade? "My laptop (I'm shuffling between three different locations), pens galore for taking notes and making sketches, a printer to print out inspiration, paper, and white binders to keep things organized."

What's your working uniform? "Whatever I want! Usually, trousers or wide-leg jeans, silk blouses, cardigans, heeled booties, and a gold and diamond vintage-inspired ring that I never take off. I have a lot of fun with what I wear since i'm expected to be at the top of my game."
