"It all started while flipping through pattern books as a baby on my mother's knee. Then came the therapeutic trips to the fabric shop and fashion magazines. I had an insatiable appetite for fashion and money was always an issue, that's where the thrift stores came in.
A trained eye coupled with obsessive compulsive behavior was my recipe for success. The thrill of the hunt and the thrill of the deal just kept pushing me on. I'm now a skilled designer with a love of vintage."
What inspires your fashion sense?
"Just about anything can get me all worked up, inspirationally speaking. If I had to narrow it down, I would say colour and texture. I also appreciate it when things are aligned spatially."
"I love everything in the shop, really. Things don't get rescued from the pits of oblivion unless I would be willing to make them my very own."

Words to act on
"Use the marketing tools available to you. The internet allows you to reach people on the other side of the globe, so let your fingers do the walking."
