UMA: What was the inspiration behind your last collection?
Meg: I usually design whatever we are feeling like wearing at HQ but can't find. I've been wanting to make pieces that elevate your everyday look effortlessly [then] also some occasion wear that adds extra pizazz and sparkle to when you want to feel cool and exciting but not predictable. Fabrics have been the biggest inspiration for this.

UMA: How does your life experience inform your creativity?
Meg: I do really need to live an experience and test out some concepts [before] I launch them into the world. Both of my sisters just got married and the lack of innovative yet flattering bridesmaid and bridal wear haunted me. There will be some pieces that speak to this coming in the future. They still don't know their weddings were business experiments!

Meg: More is more baby. I find myself being a maximialist during the week because I almost feel like I play a role in the running of my business. Then on the weekend I feel like a minimalist where I relax a little more and try far less.
