My job as a designer is to look into the future. Not to use any frame of reference that exists

I'm interested in youth culture and popular culture.

I made some salt and pepper shakers a while back and waited three years for them to come.

In Japan, Australia, and England there is such a strong youth culture.

If you see something that you feel is familiar it gives you an important kind of emotional connection.

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.

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