I feel I am a role model to many, not just for my designs, but also for the fact that I started my own company with the help of my two friends. I became a success story, and people relate to that.

I've always wanted to play a role in inspiring people to be better, to live higher quality lives and to feel good about the way that they look and feel.

I know that I'll end up being a role model for many, many people out there for all kinds of reasons.

Most of my ideas come from drawing patterns across conversations I have with different types of people - technology investors, young fashion design students, a CEO. This variety is stimulating and offers many different perspectives on the things I am thinking about.

I wanted to explore the values that are at work, underpinning my life.

I want people to be inspired that I've always strived for excellence and I've always gone beyond what anybody ever thought I could do, what I thought I myself could do. And I've allowed myself to be inspired, kept my eyes open and my senses open to inspiration around me.

I've had a life that has taken many interesting paths. I've learned a lot from mentors who were instrumental in shaping me, and I want to share what I've learned.

I view my role more as trying to set up an environment where the personalities, creativity and individuality of all the different employees come out and can shine.

I like to work with the same people when I can, and you want to get people with the same interests that you have, and the same aesthetic.

One of the advantages of my profession is I come into contact with many people.
