DB: “So Aya, Where were you born?   

Aya: “I was born in Japan. I grew up in Niigata which is the country side of Japan. I came to America in 2009 to pursue my dreams in getting my designs out to major artists”.

                                             
DB: “Cool. So, when did you start designing your handmade jewelry and accessories? What made you decide to pursue it?”

Aya: “I started designing when I was 20, just about 7 years ago. What made me pursue my jewelry design was constantly seeing people wearing different styles of accessories and jewelry, I have an artistic view with articulate ideas for designing. This is why I started making my own jewelry”.

DB: “That’s awesome! I see your drive and I am going to support it because your work literally speaks for itself! So Aya, what do you want “Doll-Domination” to be known for?”

Aya: “I want Doll Domination to ultimately be the best custom jewelry and accessories line in the fashion industry. Every piece in my collections is a one-of-a-kind. I never make any items alike or duplicate unique ideas. My goal with Doll Domination is to work exclusively with major artist; I would like all my clientele to feel special knowing that they have a piece of my work which is specifically tailored to them. I do not want to become a wholesaler or mass merchandiser”.

DB: “You mentioned working exclusively with major artist, Name a few that you would like to work with”.

Aya: “I would like to work with Lady Gaga, Nicki Minaj, Katy Perry, and Lil Wayne in the future”.

DB: “Great! So, briefly tell me a few names of the people that you have already worked with”.
