I've always had a love for making things my own.

Each time I invent something and have it manufactured, it's so incredibly exciting that I can't imagine ever wanting to stop. Envisioning new products is easy for me. I just don't have enough time in the day to design them all.

I made every single piece myself, each individual component, so it was quite time consuming.

I'm trying to build a brand. I'm not just doing one-off projects.

I've been designing my own pieces for a long time. My mother's a jewelry designer, so we knew at some point we were going to do a line and dive into the fashion world.

I was totally humbled by how hard it is to create a product every day that needs to be made from scratch.

Once you start thinking about where your products come from and what they 'do,' that's going to be an inherent part of your choice as you purchase products throughout your life.

We're living at this funny time, where we're all urged to express ourselves as unique individuals, but on the other hand, we share a limited set of tools for doing that. It's easy to feel like nothing more than the sum of your consumer choices.

I think of myself as just another consumer.
