It takes only one second to not fall in love with her works. I love how she combined the traditional illustration and stationery and bring it the luxurious level. According to her interview in The Every Girl , I really inspired by the way she describe her life and her her work. She said  she did go to school for design but she think that most of her knowledge came from experience and fellow designers.

That most of what she learned about running a business has been through trial and error, Google searches, and asking questions to other business owners. For every problem that arose, they worked until  found an answer. Neither of them have a background in business, but they're hard workers, extremely resourceful, and stubborn about giving up.

Be fearless and flexible. There have been so many times where she  had to adapt and change plans, whether it's good or bad. She always try to have an open mind about opportunities and the need to edit what she were doing for the best interest of the company. It's also so important to be fearless. Running a business can be scary, hard, and a lot of work, but unless you fully dive in, you'll never know if it will work out. You can't be afraid to fail or make mistakes sometimes.
