Interview by Charles Festa

Hello there, and how are you doing today?

I couldn't be better if I tried! Thanks for asking

How did you get your start in design?

I've been scribbling from an early age but I guess the real clincher for me was when I was around 10 years old I won a drawing competition on a Saturday morning kids TV show in Ireland, I don't even remember what the prize was or even cared for that matter it was the whole buzz of winning and seeing my name & work on TV that got me hocked – Its
little wonder I'm now addicted to Threadless and still chasing that buzz!




What inspires your work?

Everything! Sometimes the simplest of things, sometimes the weirdest of things. I'm very lucky I've got a great family life with 2 beautiful kids, they inspire me a lot as I sometimes get to see the world through their eyes and get to be a child again which is amazing not to mention a whole lot of fun.

How does it feel to have a design selected by Threadless?

Like I'm 10 years old watching Saturday morning TV in Ireland – ahhh that Buzz!




What do you plan to spend your hard-earned cash on?

I don't know I've just had 2 wins back to back so I don't know maybe a small island or a trip to the moon.
