4 questions

› What is the most useful item in your workspace?

I'd say my new Häg Capisco chair without any doubts. I have suffered from back pain for a long time and this chair has literally taught me how to sit well and change position often, which is how humans should be living anyways.

› How do you spark creativity?

I'm father of 2 kids and mornings are a bit stressful so what I'm doing to get that feeling away is doing a short workout at home (10-15 mins) before sitting down at my home office. That helps out feeling much better and brings energy back. Also, I save some fixed time in the day to go over some inspiration sites, take notes, and share some of that to my team from time to time.

› What does your typical day look like?

I guess like most parents! :D I wake up at 6:45, take my youngest son to day care by bike (best part of the day), back home for a short 10 minute workout, shower, start work at 8:30ish and spending afternoons playing around with my kids when back from school. I usually end up dead tired and go to bed at 22:00.

› What originally inspired you to become a designer?

Actually Design was more of a career consequence, rather than a meditated choice! I studied Advertising and Communication, then slowly moving into Art Direction because it was the part I was most attracted to, and ended up getting my first job as a Design trainee for a small Advertising agency in Barcelona. After that, I had the chance of working next to really influential people in the Design industry in Barcelona, like Victor Solà and Gaby Prado, which I thank every day for making me see Design as a priviledged, beautiful and high responsibility craft.
