• As a designer I aim not to be bound by any particular discipline; an idea can lead to communicating through any medium, whether it’s four colours that are printed onto a sheet of paper or an immersive experience that intervenes in our daily lives.

  I believe in design: it can create conversations and have an effect on the social fabric that we live in. My role as a designer is a role of citizenship. I have a responsibility to create dialogues: whether it’s between people, objects, ideas, materials or places, these dialogues aim to enrich the lives of those who experience them.
