Quotes Some of the challenges I can point out are a few. Hours of working juggling between being a mom and also not having enough help when it comes to the work because sometimes as creative people you want things in a setting way and so you sometimes think that you can do it all. To sum it up, in business, there are always going to be challenges Things are not always going to be perfect. To get a team that you can trust, to get enough rest and balance things in between, to get help, great supportive people or people that are willing to work with you from the ground up is always a challenges and issues you will face. I am hard-working, yes, I know a lot of awesome people, but I know my Faith in God has also played a very important part in everything I have done. I specialized in women’s fashion and men’s fashion. My specialty is mostly gowns and special occasion wear. I also have the second line which specializes in casual chic like everyday wear. Things that you can wear everyday,chic and unique pieces. What set me apart is everything I do is handmade. Whatever I make is something that you will not see anywhere. That is what sets me apart from other designers. I am very proud of my brand not only because of how good the quality is but also the story behind the design. I consider myself a risk-taker but I also I am very cautious on so many levels, yes. I’ve taken so many risks in my life I think one of the major risk I have taken is when I got the opportunity to come to this country USA, and didn’t know anyone, no relatives nor did I know how it’s going to work out but I took the risk anyway.
