Unlike many young designers today you learned how to make many things with your hands, from brick-laying and pottery to welding. Do you think that was important for your career as a designer?

　　AbsolutelyI have always related my work to the manufacturing process and never designed anything I wouldnt know how to make myself. As a small child I remember my favourite present was a bag of wooden off cuts and a pretty basic tool kit. After much pestering, my mother gave me a space for a small workshop and allowed me to set up a wood fired pottery kiln. There is no doubt it is where I first began to develop the curious mind of a designer. I think it is vital for any designer to roll their sleeves up and get heavily involved in the making process because it helps you get a deeper level of understanding about design and how it relates to the consumer.

　　Do you think all designers should learn to make things without using a computer?

　　While we must embrace computers, we must not become slaves to themthe best ideas always start with an HB pencil and a sheet of plain paper.
