What is the most important tool when creating your work?
Making a physical model is a most important tool for me to develop ideas. hands are second brain!
What is the best piece of advice you have been given?
"Outstanding( sharp) things will come out one day" from my formal boss. I was disappointed when things didn't go well. He advised to keep doing what I do and it will come out one day.
Where do you go for inspiration?
I try to find things to get inspired around. Breath deeply and look around and breath. I found it always there. It is about discovery with new perspectives.
