Tell us about yourself
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
As an independent business, every year in the green is an accomplishment. The freedom to do what I love daily and to have a community of supporters are what make this worthwhile. Not to mention it gives me the opportunity to meet some of the people that influenced me because they want my collections, from Snoop Dogg wearing my designs on a 50' billboard in Times Square and on all his episodes with Martha Stewart to spending time designing for Lauryn Hill and spending NYE with her and her family to winning HBO's The Hype Season 2.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
Finding outlets like this to help spread the word. Reaching our audience is key to growth, but it's a constantly evolving enigma that is affected by technology and the sentiment of the masses.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Never give up.
- Hire people smarter than you.
- Find a core team to grow with.
