London is very Artsy. Do you consider it a good place to be for a Graphic Designer of your sort?<br />
That’s true it is very Arty, and I love the diversity of it so yeah its a good place to be a designer but there is a lot of competition,<br />
which is healthy.<br />
What would be the worst that could happen while working on a project?<br />
I would say, touch wood, that it would be a hard drive crashing during a large project and losing everything. the thought of that<br />
make my toes curl.<br />
What would you say to others who has the same dream as you within the Extreme Sports World?<br />
If it;s truly what you want, you can make it work, but it takes a lot of patience and passion. My biggest pointer would be presentation.<br />
A good portfolio opens many doors.<br />
Outside Graphic Design, what else do you enjoy?<br />
My main thing would be keeping active. I like snowboarding, skating, surfing, climbing, running etc it helps keep me in the right<br />
frame of mind. Sometimes it’s hard to wake up and be creative every day if you are just not feeling it.<br />
Leading question” where would that be?<br />
Do you like fashion?<br />
Yeah, I try and keep myself looking respectable but I am no means a follower of fashion.<br />
How would you describe your style?<br />
I guess right now I’m kind of running a biker/fisherman/street urchin kind of vibe. Slight beard, longish hair, Brixton fiddler black<br />
hat, black double breasted pea coat, black skinny jeans and black vans.<br />
