What did you want to be as an adult when you were a child?I wanted to be fashion designer. Even at a young age,I always would read lots of fashion magazines, books etc…I still have aspirations of one day designing my own kids clothing line.
Where do you live and what you like about it?I live in Boise, Idaho. Pronouced, {Boy-see not Boy-zee}. It is the capital and most populous city of the U.S. state of Idaho. Located on the Boise River. I love this city and have lived here since I was 4 years old. I love the fact that we have 4 breathtakingly beautiful seasons here in Idaho. It is such a lovely city, and I am so proud to live here!
What children’s brands really get you hooked?I have so many brands that I love, but here are a few that I am really impressed with: Mini Rodini, Bobo Choses, Antik Batik, BB +++, Bandit Bambi, Shampoodle, Atsuyo et Akiko, Wovenplay.
