JA New York: Do you have a particular wearer in mind when you’re designing? 

GR: I design with the modern woman in transition, in mind.  I think of the Onirikka woman as chic, spiritful, passionate and bold.

JA New York: What is your biggest source of design inspiration?

GR: I draw inspiration from my the tropics in my surroundings; colorful flowers, chic cities from my travels.  I love to attend dance performances, especially the ballet at Lincoln Center when I am in NYC, I feel inspired by all the passion and hard work involved in dance and performances and how it is just felt in your soul, through movement-

JA New York: What’s one thing that always makes you smile?

GR: My Husband and two children always make my heart smile…. And jewelry, of course.

JA New York: If you could be a TV/Movie villain, who would you be and why?  

GR: I would have to say Catwoman because I would love to be able to pull off that catsuit. And, a newer one, Maleficient because she wears really cool jewelry….AND she can fly. 

JA New York: Do you have a “special skill” that people don’t know about? 

GR: I have a photographic memory- well, at least i used to jaja.

JA New York: If you could spend one day in somebody else’s shoes, whom would it be? 

GR: I would love to be a professional ballet dancer for one day, train and perform for a huge audience at an amazing theater or I would love to be my French bulldog, Emma, for one day–run around and be the alpha of my pack.
