Interview
Back in time: What was your first design in life?
Lego. Through Lego I realized my very first design ideas. Keep it simple and smart. That's what I still say today.
What inspires you?
Nature, new people, art and culture, traveling, looking at details.
What triggers you?
Badly made design by non professionals. Good quality is a question of education.
What is a job that you would definitely not accept?
Offers that contradict my ethical and social standards.
What’s your first question in a project?
What’s your goal?
How do you start working with a client?
First I listen. To listen to the person next to you and reading that person is a really important skill. A good designer should find out what’s the best solution for a client's need. But first, you need to understand what that need is by listening.
Please complete the sentence: It’s finished when…
… the end of a project is always a snapshot of the here and now. We are changing the whole time, so does design.
