Interview by Charlie Festa

Hello there, and how are you doing today?

Very fine.



How did you get your start in design?

By the way: I dont feel like a designer, who is designing cool objects and the environment. I feel more like a illustrator and so i think i get started to feel like a illustrator was when i get in touch with the oilcolors from my arty dad when i was (i think) about 3 years old? After that painting was just a pleasure for me and thats how it is still today.



What inspires your work?

Everything, really everything, but especially crazy and unnormal things.



How does it feel to have a design selected by Threadless?

Great.

What do you plan to spend your hard-earned cash on?

Oh god. Perhaps i would do a travel with my girlfriend, or perhaps drinking bubbly all day long, or perhaps just paying my rent. We will see, but its great to have it :-)
