Research

Can you briefly describe your work?
I try to use all the knowledge I have to design something that “works”….and my definition of “working” includes being beautiful, being fun, being inspirational, being great for the end-user as well as just making things stand up. And if I don’t have the knowledge, I try to find someone I like, who does.

What do the different members of your team do?
Some plan out our work and the key decisions we (and others) need to make.
Some agonise about the tiniest detail.
We design our entire projects full-size in the computer, and test them so that we know they will work, and then we ask someone else (the contractor) to make them.
We all make the tea
