Her experience as a registered nurse has increased her awareness of the human resolve, the ability of the body to be repaired and a love for others. Her design for Artisan's Express, "Believe", was inspired by her desire to do something to help raise funds for the Hoops Family and Children's Hospital in hopes of inspiring those that feel that their situation is hopeless.

The cause ribbons are used to allude to childhood issues such as cancer, aids, autism, and abuse.
