Q&A

What motivates you? I like the vertigo of working with materials and techniques I don't master. Being out of my comfort zone helps me to light the sparks I need to create. In other words, trying to avoid doing the same thing over and over again. Any wise words of advice? Working on projects you're excited about will erase the line between work and fun. Good topics for party talk? Temperature, music, anecdotes, YouTube videos, the sick guy on the couch, and self-discussion. Favorite things to do when not creating? Music, cinema, playing with my daughter. What would the ultimate job be? Directing music videos for my favourite bands.
