The transition she made from law school to fashion school
Her first business failure and finding the confidence to go it alone
The Paris showroom debacle and what happened when she tried to rent her own Airbnb for showings
Why she's big on iterating styles that have been left on the cutting room floor to create a version that customers actually want 
Why it's important to have a bread and butter product
Her thoughts on greenwashing and sustainable fashion

The questions she asks herself after reaching a decade in business
