“Building and nurturing a healthy relationship between agency and client and models are essentials for me. I treat them as a part of my family. My models’ careers are carefully thought-out, and it takes time to fully develop them. It really needs hard work,” she said.
She has been designing dresses for five years now and her designs include clothes that her models and her daughter wore during national and international pageant competitions. (AW)
