I remember watching 'The Carol Burnett Show' with my parents as a kid. All those weird outfits she wore, like turtlenecks and long skirts, really stayed in my head.

I'd call my work 'instinctual design.' I like to find the spirit of a piece that defies time, age, and occasion. My clothes give the wearer the chance to develop their own voice within a wardrobe, and I think of them as curators of their personal style.
As a designer looking to the future, you don't want to get lost in the archives.
I went to Parsons. American sportswear was my education, and that is what is important to me.
I have no problem with being underdressed.
While at Parsons, I interned at Marc Jacobs, which was great. When I graduated, I went to work at J. Crew; that was also really great.
I feel like girls should dress down a little bit on the holidays, even though the instinct is to get really dressed up.
I'm drawn to girls with a certain self-effacing, humorous quality and an innate independence and point of view. I love the notion of never taking yourself too seriously or being too put together.
Designers and musicians are primed to keep thinking forward. Once an album or collection launches, you can only think about doing the next one.
I interned with Marc Jacobs in college, then worked at J. Crew. I learned a lot about how to fit clothes and what kinds of things sell and why.
