HOW HAS YOUR STYLE EVOLVED OVER THE YEARS?

Style is tricky to define when you’re in it and creating it. I can see my mind has developed and the way I look at things has changed over the years by absorbing so many different visual cultures from so many parts of the world. I travel a great deal for work and love visiting exhibitions in different countries – sometimes these events completely reshape my thinking. Design is not static, it’s constantly evolving.

WHO HAS BEEN YOUR BIGGEST INFLUENCE?

The people I meet add to the way I view the world and my work. I’m just back from Italy, where I was on the judging panel for the Boat International Design and Innovation Awards. Meeting Daniel Simon was a great treat – he’s the conceptual designer who created futuristic vehicles for films such as Prometheus, Tron and Oblivion. It made me view the possibilities of design and creation in a different way – very exciting indeed.
