Me showing my emotions... it's not a sign of weakness; it's a sign of passion. ”

People need to work on what self-love is and redefining self-love... it comes from within: who you are and how you carry yourself in this world. ”

I love color, and I'm very inspired by curvy women and helping them feel good in their clothes. ”

I like to design funky things, and I love to mix prints and patterns together. ”

Bridal wear has always been a passion of mine. ”

I love to design clothing that is not out there for your average plus-size woman, and I want to fill in the gap of that industry and not design cookie-cutter things. ”

The wear time on clothing for plus-sized women is half the life span of a straight-sized woman's clothing. Straight-sized women's bras can last them three, six months? Our bras don't last as long as a straight-sized woman's bras normally do because we have more movement; we have more weight. ”

Seeing that 'Project Runway' sign at the end of the runway just made me, like, realize, like, 'Wow, I'm on this show. I'm living every designer's dream right now.' ”

Sky's the limit. I don't have a vision, because I want to do everything that I can. ”

When companies are jumping on the bandwagon to do plus size, they limit themselves. ”
