Design<\/h4>\n
What would your monograph be called?<\/h5>\n

Saddle up, and ride your pony. <\/em>The title of a David Christie track from 1982, the year I left school.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a metaphor for taking action and moving forward in life. I am a firm believer in taking control of life, rather than it taking control of you. Great design often means making brave choices and not being afraid to move forward.<\/p>\n

I am also a lifelong horse lover with four ponies of my own, so it\u2019s more than a metaphor for me!<\/p>\n

What recent design work made you a bit jealous?<\/h5>\n

I love this Heinz brand campaign by Wieden + Kennedy. I am a big fan of their work, often controversial, always highly creative.<\/p>\n

This campaign is so simple and relies on clever insight that we instinctively know the ads are talking about Heinz without even showing or mentioning the brand.<\/p>\n

Wieden + Kennedy\u2019s It Has To be Heinz campaign<\/p>\n

What\u2019s an unusual place you get inspiration from?<\/h5>\n

I live in the countryside with a lot of nature on my doorstep. I have always found inspiration for design in the changing of seasons and the rhythm of nature.<\/p>\n

I love a trip to the bright lights of London or New York, but nature is awesome.<\/p>\n

Name something that is brilliantly designed but overlooked.<\/h5>\n

Sounds crazy, but I love a good tap. A well-designed tap is a beautiful thing. The ergonomics, the weight, the turn, the touch, even the sound when the water pours.<\/p>\n

They all make a big difference to how you experience, say, running a bath after a hard day at work.<\/p>\n

What object in your studio best sums up your taste?<\/h5>\n

That\u2019s Big Ken, a Kenia Palm we have in the studio. We have added a lot of indoor plants, and it\u2019s brought a new dimension to how I feel about the environment.<\/p>\n

Every time a team member has a birthday, we buy a new plant. We joke about working in Jumanji<\/em>, so we might have to stop that initiative soon!<\/p>\n

Leadership<\/h4>\n
What feedback felt brutal at the time, but turned out to be useful?<\/h5>\n

We had a non-executive when we first started The Collaborators who told us that we should stop treating the money in the bank as our own and think of it as business property.<\/p>\n

Consequently, we were as poor as church mice for quite some time, but it was great advice and one we have stuck to ever since. Cash is king.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s an underappreciated skill that design leaders need?<\/h5>\n

Empathy and understanding. Life happens when you are least expecting it. Showing compassion when times get difficult for people in your business builds loyalty, respect and a deeper connection between the team.<\/p>\n

What keeps you up at night?<\/h5>\n

I am not much of a worrier. I think that\u2019s been a blessing over the years. Worrying achieves nothing apart from stress. I get excited about ideas and change, and that can certainly keep me awake at night.<\/p>\n

What trait is non-negotiable in new hires?<\/h5>\n

A can-do attitude. Positive people make life so much nicer.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Complete this sentence, \u201cI wish more clients\u2026\u201d<\/h5>\n

\u2026would appreciate the value of great design, not just the cost.<\/p>\n

I think the next decade will be interesting. With AI gathering pace, will clients become more cost-sensitive, or will craftsmanship and the more subtle and insightful qualities that only a \u2018real\u2019 designer can bring be more sought after and therefore more valued? Let\u2019s see.<\/p>\n
