Q1 Could you tell us what's a highlight of your recent design career?
Working with celebrities is always a highlight for me because they usually try to find the most unique items in clothing and jewelry, which allows me to be a bit more daring. Recently, I made some custom pieces for Paris Hilton. She wore one of my necklaces for a red carpet event at the Super Bowl in Arizona which received great media exposure! |

Paris is such a style icon and wears unique and unusual items, so I was extremely happy to have her wear my line. Kim Kardashian is also a fan of my line as she owns a custom rhinestoned skull. Each piece is truly unique, so they provide these celebrities with a sense of complete style and individuality when they wear it.
Q2 I see Rock N' Roll was your inspiration. Could you explain?
I Love Rock N' Roll so naturally the influence comes out through my designs. There is so much inspiration from rock and roll from the energy, fantasy and artistry. I take all of these elements and then add my touch by adding a soft, romantic and accessible application to each design. Rock N' Roll is timeless much like the pieces I try to create.
Q3 What are you wearing this spring?
My art nouveau inspired jewelry that incorporates spiders and Prada's sculpted purple velvet floral heels. |

Q4 If you were to dress one person, who would that be?
That is easy – Angelina Jolie. She is ALL woman – sexy, edgy, sophisticated, smart, philanthropic, gentle and has the strength to just be herself. I admire all of these qualities so it would be such a pleasure trying to create pieces around all of these attributes.
Q5 What do you offer to consumers different than others?
All of my pieces are one-of-a-kind. I use a variety of different materials which lets me create multiple looks for each of my customers. My clients tell me they feel like they are wearing a custom sculpture or art piece that was created specifically for their own style. My jewelry truly reflects and compliments the individual's personality, mood and spirit. Additionally, most of my pieces are made with vintage materials so they are eco-friendly as well! |

Q6 Is there a designer who inspires you the most?
Bruce Hoeksema and all the designers for VBH and of course Tom Ford
Q7 what do you see people wearing on the streets that you think is not tasteful?
Clothing that is too tight and too baggy. A woman should tastefully accentuate the shape of her own body. I'm not a fan of "leaving nothing to the imagination." |

Q15 Would you like to add anything for the Japanese fans?
In my opinion, the Japanese culture is one of the most daring and influential cultures when it comes to independent style. I think my products would be a perfect fit in Japan due to culture's amazing energy and innovative nature. I would love to see my products sold in Japan and hopefully this will be the start of my showcase in your country! |
