"You need to take care of what's most important at the time. Sometimes, it's work. Sometimes, it's family. Sometimes, it's your self."
"I keep my wardrobe simple and classic. Accessories - on the other hand - are a much different story. I love statement pieces, anything that expresses my personality. Original with a creative flair!"
Tabitha keeps notebooks with her for meetings, then she usually emails clients her recap.

Tabitha defines her office space as "resourceful." She created the artwork behind her desk, as she's a fine artist as well as a graphic artist.
These boxes, from Ikea, store all of the materials Tabitha needs for work.
She uses notebooks to keep track of her project details and sketches.
Regarding jewelry:
"I love unique, individual, one-of-a-kind pieces. My approach: less is more. If it's a statement piece, then let it make a statement."
