“I have studied a wide variety of disciplines ranging from programming to impressionistic landscape painting, from technical illustration to loose watercolor, from industrial design fabrication techniques to bookbinding and leather craft. My goal is always approach design problems by cross-pollinating my knowledge base; to use inspiration and skills that are not normally relevant to whatever discipline I am practicing, keeping the approach fresh and intriguing.”
