“I feel like it's the only way to accomplish the things you want to do. You, yourself, have to know you can do it before anyone.”

“I'm not going to be able to skate in some big Balenciaga cloggers, you know?”

“I'm a quick learner but my earliest memory of riding a bike was going straight off the front of a 20 staircase in my driveway and yelling to my mom that I almost made it to the bottom and trying to air down the stairs straight after the first attempt.”

“Sunscreen is a big staple for me. It's helped my skin stay protected and pristine, especially in hot weather.”

“I feel like people should keep an open mind and hopefully just continue to grow their fashion sense and continue to grow their style, whatever that may be.”

“I don't know if skating or designing clothes is the be all or end all, there's always these new things that keep popping up.”

“I have learned to go with the flow and make sure you have an amazing local tour guide. It's the key to wherever you're visiting.”

“I never went to school. I was homeschooled my whole life - and I also didn't even graduate.”

“I'm not the most handy - I got a maximum of five dishes that I can make.”

“You know, when it's all said and done, there's a lot of prep and there's a lot of things leading up to the moment before they say action... but I'm actually thoroughly enjoying all that comes with it.”

“When you do things you don't want to do, it just dilutes the results and nothing comes out as good as it should be.”

“I've always shot photos and tried to document as much as possible, but it was basically just for documentation because I do not have that good of a memory. There are so many things that happen and you forget a lot of it. So it's nice to have those little notes throughout life to bring you back to those times.”

“I grew up on the north shore of Oahu, mainly around the beach, so I was surrounded by surfing and everything to do with the water.”
