And I’m obsessed with watercolor fabric. I work with<br />
artists to create exclusive designs, so I’ll commission<br />
them to make a watercolor painting, and I’ll just give<br />
them a general color palette and theme, and then they<br />
create a painting that we then transfer to fabric, which I<br />
then make into a dress. So I guess we’re getting inspiration<br />
from each other, and that’s my favorite.<br />

Words to live by?<br />
“Never let anyone keep you down. Never give up.”<br />
If I didn’t live by those words I wouldn’t be where I am<br />
today. Everyone, especially our families, thought we<br />
were crazy when we started this business 10 years ago.<br />
Because it’s scary to not have a “secure” job with health<br />
insurance and a regular schedule, but I wouldn’t go back<br />
and I wouldn’t change a thing. It was so much hard<br />
work getting here, but here we are and it’s a wonderful<br />
place to be.<br />
What's your favorite season and why?<br />
26<br />
Fall, because October is my favorite color. And I love<br />
sweater weather, and when there’s a nip in the air.<br />
Coffee or Tea?<br />
Neither. I’m a Dr. Pepper addict.<br />

Early mornings or late nights?<br />
Definitely early mornings. I love getting up when it’s just<br />
starting to get light and everyone else is still sleeping and<br />
everything is quiet. I get my best ideas in the morning.<br />
And I get super grumpy when I’m tired so staying up late<br />
is a no-go!<br />
What is one thing You can you find wish Little you Dreamers knew when Tutus here:<br />

you started your business?<br />

Well I didn’t know anything when we started this, I was<br />
a photographer major in college, I hadn’t taken a single<br />
business class, and my sewing skills are totally<br />
self-taught, so there was a lot I wish I knew! Probably<br />
the most important thing I’ve learned, which is the same<br />
as the one thing I wish I knew, is that it’s okay to accept<br />
help and that you don’t have to do it all on your own.<br />
That was something that was really hard for me to<br />
accept, and to be honest, is still something I’m working<br />
on. If you work with others who have been where you’re<br />
at you get farther and grow faster and have a community<br />
of support around you. I fall into the trap of thinking that<br />
no one is going to do it as well as I am because no one<br />
cares as much as I do about my business, and that’s not<br />
true. I believe the world wants you to succeed, and I believe<br />
that everyone can succeed, that there’s an endless<br />
amount of opportunities to be had, you just have to<br />
work for it
