What challenge have you faced throughout your career made you stronger?
There is a quote I love by Charles R. Swindoll. He said, “Life is 10 percent what happens to you and 90 percent how you react to it.” Your life journey is never a linear process. From childhood to adulthood, each one of us faces a variety of challenges based on the choices we make along the way. What truly sets one apart from the masses is an embodiment of how you choose to react, learn, and imbibe with each experience—whether good or bad. My life and career have been a journey of twists and turns, peaks and valleys, mountains to climb and oceans to explore, happy times and sad times, but the “never give up” attitude has always kept me moving forward.
If you could dress any famous leader in this world, who would you choose and why?
Elon Musk—futuristic yet simple—and Jacinda Ardern because she is an exceptional leader and people centric.
Which five things do you absolutely need in your life to maintain your creativity and motivation?
Passion, zeal, perseverance, love, and happiness.
Describe your dream fashion house in three sentences.
