Share a memorable "aha" moment from your design career.

I consider the challenging initial two years of my career to be my "aha" moment. During this time, I learned a lot from my mistakes, and as I grew in the fashion industry, I realized the importance of experience and learning from errors. These first two years of my job and business are the true "aha" moments for me because they constantly remind me that there is always so much more to learn and explore.
