I attribute a lot of my success to simply making up my mind about what I wanted and fully committing to it. Once you decide that this is the path you’re going to take, challenges stop feeling like signs that you should quit and start becoming problems you’re meant to solve along the way. For me, everything shifted the moment I decided I was going all in.

The best career advice I’ve ever received is to start before you feel ready. Most of the biggest opportunities in my career came from being willing to figure things out as I went, rather than waiting until I had the perfect plan, experience, or resources. Confidence often comes after you take the leap, not before.

The most important quality you can develop is self-confidence. The luxury industry can be incredibly intimidating, but when you trust your abilities and understand the value you bring to the table, you walk into rooms knowing you belong there. Invest in whatever strengthens that confidence, whether that means honing your craft, deepening your expertise, or surrounding yourself with women who reflect where you’re trying to go.

One of my biggest challenges has been turning visibility into the right kind of clientele. My work naturally attracts a lot of attention, especially on social media, but a large audience doesn’t always translate into the right customers. Right now, I’m focused on exploring different marketing strategies and channels that allow me to reach people who not only appreciate the work, but are also the right fit for the experiences we create.

One of the values I live by is that the way you do one thing is the way you do everything. I don’t believe in cutting corners or doing things halfway. If I’m going to do something, I want to do it thoughtfully and to the best of my ability. That standard is part of who I am personally, and it naturally carries into my work and the level of care I bring to every detail.
