What inspired me to do what I do? Design technology was the only subject I was both good at and enjoyed in school, my teacher was inspirational and encouraging, I still go to him for advice from time to time.

Random fact about me? I was a semi-professional skateboarder until I dislocated my ankle before starting uni and shop sponsor went under.

Best Advice? Don’t over think things, if it makes you happy, do it.
