Design has not been just a job for me, it's been a lifelong passion. Design for me is not only about how it looks and feels, but how it works... does it make things happen, does it get the message across, and does it live up to it’s expectations? Being creative is not a task... for me, its life itself.

So I consider myself a designer... a designer of everything, from the lowly to the grand... to the use-one-and-throw-away to what will eventually become a family heirloom.

Goals are for footballers... we designers are ever evolving... can I say I have one? No. I want to design a car... an aircraft or sea-craft, art direct a music video, design the next big thing in fashion... my 'goal' is then to design/create something that is new under the sun.
