Even today, I am still very child-like while designing. It's a bit like Christmas - each of your designs you create is like unravelling your presents.

As a kid, I was creative and unique, and I've had that my whole life.

When I was 18, I began attending college for art and design, and I designed all sorts of things from furniture to industrial designs and even watches.

I was a baby when I began, but I knew exactly what I wanted to wear myself. I became a jewelry designer because I knew how to do something with a pencil and sketch my ideas.

I discovered at an early age that all I've ever wanted to do is design.

I was probably born with some designing abilities.

I came from product design originally - I had been designing dolls for a toy company since I was 16 - so I'm used to working with plastic and different things. I had an innate interest in objects.

I've always had an interest in design, and I have always loved creating things.

My inspiration is always love and history, and my passion to a fault is craftsmanship and responsibility. Those are the simplest things. It goes beyond jewelry. It's every part of my life.

When I was 10, my parents really valued success in the arts, and I thought if I was a famous 'something artistic,' that they would love me more.
