Every day, I like to make hats that make people dream.

I like hats that make the heart beat faster.

I'm Irish but I design something that is quintessentially English and I love hats.

I make hats for lots of iconic people, and that makes my job very interesting.

You know that scenario where roses are red, leaves are green, I love arguing that. ‘Why should they be?’. I hate rules and formulas. That’s so boring. It’s the opposite of creativity. Rules are ridiculous things that are meant to be broken.

I love the shape of cars. They are very inspiring as modern pieces of machinery. I can't drive, but I do like the look of them.

I always design the hat with the wearer in mind; otherwise, it's an inanimate object.
