Hello there, and how are you doing today?
I'm doing very well. Life is grand.

How did you get your start in design?
The details are hazy but I imagine it involved picking up a pencil at a young age. This was to precede many well deserved C's studying Graphic Design at university.

What inspires your work?
I'm pretty sure that creativity displayed by others is what evokes creativity in myself. Be it sound, words or image.

How does it feel to have a design selected by Threadless?
I'm chuffed. It's a great privilege.

What do you plan to spend your hard-earned cash on?
Initially I intend to see how it feels for my bank account to be in positives again. If I get tired of this I'll probably purchase a new wardrobe.
