The mother of three girls Harper 5, Kendall 12, and Simone 23 counts motherhood as her greatest accomplishment.
“I have zero regrets on waiting until later in life to be a mom. I’m settled, grounded, and can actually laugh at myself now when I make mistakes. No mother is perfect. Being a mom has also helped me hone my design aesthetic to include functionality and sustainability which is important for everyday life. It’s my mission to prove that luxury, comfort and sustainability can coexist.”
