I’ve always had the fantasy of being interviewed…
And since nobody is knocking on my door yet I decided to steal the typical Designboom interview and answer it.

What is the best moment of the day?
Around 5 or 6 in the afternoon when you are happy that you accomplished something…

What kind of music do you listen to at the moment?
Dark ambient, heavy metal, indie, punk and unpopular pop.

Never. I hate people choosing for me.

Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk
Lunar Park by Bret Easton Ellis
48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene

Do you read design magazines?

Nobody reads them. It’s a waste of time.

From teh internets…

Sometimes, nobody wants to hear you toot your own horn.

Please describe your style, as a good friend of yours would describe it.
Aha! Trick question…
Unconventional, unpopular, nice little things.

Depends on when you ask me this.
They all had their good moments.

Design lost it’s soul. Nobody takes risks.

Do yo have any advice for the young?
Do whatever you feel like doing.
Don’t be fake. Don’t sell out.

I’m not afraid, it’s just a fact:
