The fashion industry has an enormous amount to offer in what we do in industrial design because fashion is fast, fashion has its finger on the pulse. There are very few creative industries that work on that rhythm.

I was sort of open to do anything, I was free.

And where I grew up in Australia, surfing was a part of culture.

Well, I never studied design and I went to art school to study art, you know, sculpture and things like that, and ended up making things like sculpture and started making chairs and jewelry together and that's how I started.

I have a lot of objects in my space, little things, reminders, memories.

I'm interested in youth culture and popular culture.

Design schools are good, I guess, sometimes I visit schools, but they are very very limiting.
