MY WORLD HAS ALWAYS BEEN FILLED WITH COLOR, TEXTURE, AND PATTERN. GROWING UP IN MY MOM'S STUDIO, RENOWNED ARTIST CLARE POTTER, I WAS SURROUNDED BY COLLECTIONS OF ANTIQUE BEADS, PILES OF VINTAGE LIBERTY FABRICS AND INSPIRATION THAT HAD NO LIMITS. FROM AN EARLY AGE, AND IN GREAT THANKS TO MY MOM, I LEARNED THAT CREATIVITY HAD NO BOUNDARIES—THERE WERE NO MISTAKES, ONLY OPPORTUNITIES TO CREATE WHAT BROUGHT ME JOY. ALTHOUGH MY CAREER INITIALLY TOOK ME INTO THE BUSINESS WORLD, I WAS ULTIMATELY DRAWN BACK TO MY CREATIVE ROOTS, WHERE I BEGAN DESIGNING FOR MYSELF AND EMBRACING MY ARTISTIC PASSION.
