\nI wanted to partner with FabFitFun because I love what [you] stand for \u2013 motivating women to keep on with their fitness journey and enjoy the hustle as they go.<\/p>\n
\nI\u2019m always looking forward and pushing myself to do better than my best. Life for me is all about being an 11 out of 10. I don\u2019t stop and think about my past achievements \u2013 that\u2019s meaningless to live in the past. I look forward. Eyes on the prize.<\/p>\n
\nEnjoying the city I\u2019m lucky enough to play in. Checking out the culinary scene, exploring, [and] enjoying.<\/p>\n
\nThe best advice Serena has given me was also the best advice I\u2019ve ever received in my life. It was the US Open and we were both in the semi-finals. I asked her if she was nervous and she said, \u201cNo, I\u2019m not nervous because we have to show up. And since we have to show up, why not compete?\u201d<\/p>\n
\nLook good, feel good. My EleVen styles help me get into my groove on the court. I love the boldness of them and [the clothing] empowers me to be my best self. You also need to hustle on the court, so EleVen is made to move with you. The clothes don’t get in the way so I can focus.<\/p>\n
\nNo. Both [are] driven by the same idea: Keep pushing yourself to be better than you were yesterday.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/BObeMBtP.jpeg\")
<\/p>\n
\nI love to be comfortable. It\u2019s why my Seamless line exists. I wear my Seamless Smooth Legging all the time.<\/p>\n
\nEverywhere. I travel a lot and keep my eyes peeled at the colors and feeling of spaces I get to visit. This helps me pick colors to incorporate into my collections. I also love Instagram for seeing how people wear their EleVen. It keeps me inspired and passionate about why I create and design.<\/p>\n
\nKeep striving. Don\u2019t let setbacks push you off the course. Stay true to yourself and keep being better than your best.<\/p>\n
\nDavid Guetta, Ciara, Rihanna, and Frank Ocean!<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2000\/02\/RFtZ5KXY.jpeg\")

\nHarry is my #1 fan and I\u2019m his. He comes everywhere with me. He also has helped me make business decisions. I was having a tough time picking a print for an EleVen collection and he walked on over and picked it for me! I know everyone says this about their dog, but mine really is a genius.<\/p>\n
\nBreathe and think about what I want from my day. Also, green juice!<\/p>\n
\nI\u2019m a workaholic! Work is fun for me as I do something I love. I\u2019m usually reviewing branding, new projects, sketching, or studying new things. These days, my studies involve learning the methodologies of e-commerce. I love to do this with a movie on if I am sketching. I always talk to the family before bedtime and walk my little dog Harry and tuck him in as well.<\/p>\n
\nEnjoying the life I\u2019ve built for myself.<\/p>\n
