You Know Some People Say

The Fashion Industry Has An Enormous Amount To Offer In What We Do In Industrial Design Because Fashion Is Fast, Fashion Has Its Finger On The Pulse. There Are Very Few Creative Industries That Work On That Rhythm.

I'm So Immersed In My Little World That I Don't Often Sit Back And Pay Attention To What's Going On Around Me. It Truly Stuns Me When People Recognize Me.

But If I Can Have An Effect On Young Designers, That's Great - Particularly Young Designers Coming From Australia. Europeans Grew Up With Design. The Rest Of Us Lived On Tidbits Of Information.
