You Know Some People Say

People Kind Of Tend To Mystify Design And Architecture By Suggesting You Need To Train.

I'm So Immersed In My Little World That I Don't Often Sit Back And Pay Attention To What's Going On Around Me. It Truly Stuns Me When People Recognize Me. Obviously, I'm Not A Film Star, But Even At A Design Exhibition Or Art Exhibition, If Someone Comes Up To Me, I'm Sort Of Taken Aback. I Don't Think Of Myself Like That. But If I Can Have An Effect On Young Designers, That's Great - Particularly Young Designers Coming From Australia. Europeans Grew Up With Design. The Rest Of Us Lived On Tidbits Of Information.

If I Can Feel Freedom Then I Can Create.

And Where I Grew Up In Australia, Surfing Was A Part Of Culture.

So If I Want To Buy A Light In A Shop And I Don't Find A Light That I Like, I Think To Myself What Would I Like? What Would I Like To Buy? Then I Started To Imagine And Design It For Myself A Lot Of The Time.
