When and how did you begin sewing/painting/designing/etc.?
I started drawing as a kid. My father was very artistic and he inspired me. Actually, both sides of my family had artists. In high school I was an art major and had a fantastic teacher (Ms. Rosen) who mentored me. Our first project was to present our full names in an interesting way. Ms. Rosen complimented the composition of my piece in front of the class, and I was hooked.
Where did you grow up?
I grew up in Brooklyn, New York, in Flatbush. I went to Midwood High School.
