What motivates you to work in your industry?

  • I started my a career in fashion design because I thought that was my passion. It wasn't until I started teaching and helping others pursue their own fashion dreams that I realized where my passion really lies. Helping others turn their design ideas into manufacturable products and profitable businesses is my true calling.
