4 questions

› What is the most recent item that you've added to your workspace?

I think it was my Fujifilm camera.

› How do you spark creativity?

I expose myself to beautiful things as much as I can. I avoid apps and software for inspiration. Instead I try to draw inspiration from movies, art or video games. Going outside really helps too. Then, practice and repetition, over and over.

› What does your typical day look like?

I’m pretty consistent. I wake up, stay away from screens until I’ve finished breakfast, and then get to work. I try to design as much as possible, even if we don’t ship everything. We experiment a lot, see if the team likes the concepts, and implement what works. When I’m creatively stuck, I go for a walk.

› What do you enjoy most about WFH life?

Even though I love routine, I appreciate the flexibility. I can go for walks in the afternoon or hit the gym. Sometimes, I prefer to enjoy a sunny afternoon and work at night instead.
