Do you see beauty in things that others might not notice?
Please give an example.

I am attracted to details and fascinated by the way that details combine coincidentally to create a special contrast and tension. I find this very beautiful. The rip in the perfect shirt or the esthetic balance in the cracked glass in the windowpane.

Do you always feel the need to have a story to tell?

I don’t want to tell stories through my design. Conversely, I want to create objects as tools that allow opportunities for others to develop and chart their own stories. 

Do you often get stuck on the details while missing the larger picture?

I care greatly about the details. Details are the joints that hold all the main elements of a design together. I try hard to differentiate a detail from an applied engineering principle. I think you can turn an applied engineering principle into detail but one must be careful not to turn a detail into an applied engineering principle. To ensure this, it is always necessary to refer to the larger picture and main message that the object communicates.
