What is your ideal office?

 

As a kid I loved going to my mother’s office, it had a particular smell and vibe. With a ton of supplies which I’d always manage to smuggle home. I’ve tried to replicate that vibe in every office I’ve had; there’s always a Le Labo or Frederic Malle candle burning and I try to keep my space organized. Right now, I’m burning incense from my local spot and it’s a bit manic panic in here.

 

If you were a professional athlete, what would be your sport of choice?

 

I was a professional athlete, well, in my mind I was. I swam competitively on two teams for 10 years. I believe swimming to be the best sport as you focus on your individual goal in order for the team to do its best. I think it is the most mentally challenging and physically demanding sport.

Who was the last person you hugged, and why?

 

The last person I hugged was my husband Raj Debah because he helped make a very tense situation very chill and fun.

 

What is your Achilles heel?

 

Fried chicken.

 

Where might we find you on a Sunday afternoon?

 

Laying sideways reading or day dreaming or hanging with my nieces or buying books or in my studio.

 

What words make your heart beat fast?
