What is your favorite item in your workspace?
I have three Vinylmation Mickey Mouse toys that my wife bought for me as gifts to mark special occasions and they mean so much to me.
How do you spark creativity?
My OP-1 field is a creative palette cleanser. The playful and explorative interface enables me to explore and layers sounds in a natural way.
How do you manage work-life balance?
I try to set clear times when I am working (usually during the day) and when I'm off work (family time). This helps me to stay focused on things I need to accomplish and it helps me to be more present with my family and friends when I'm off work.
