What is a typical day at your studio?
Trying to do many things at the same time before someone randomly turns up for a coffee.
A/W 07 – Have Guts, Will Travel, Long Way Home
What would you say distinguishes fine are from design?
One doesn’t “talk” about money but the other one does.
Peep Throuth My Ears
You have exhibited in numerous cultural capitols (Berlin, London etc). Where do you feel your work is best understood, and why. Which city do you feel influences you the most (and why)?
I think London still influences me the most. I experience a lot in London. I won’t say my work will be understood better in one place than others. The challenge of making work is to communicate with many people, not just one particular group. In a way I consider work to be communication with different levels of audiences whilst still being able to communicate with all of them.
What would you like to be in the future? A filmmaker?
A filmmaker + A happy runner
Could you tell us about the concept of the SHIFT cover?
I’ve made a piece called “The Yogifinger”. Now I would like to propose a moment of calmness for internet audiences! I’ll invite them to fall into a meditational mindset, and, with a little ‘tick’ in the animation, hopefully jog their attention. Just a simple little surprise!
What’s your next plan in the future?
Enjoy the moment now. Peace and Love.

Dream Bigger. Live Harder. Love Deeper.
