![]() A few off the top of my head in no particular order: Steve Jobs, Charles and Ray Eames, Carl Jung, Wes Anderson, Salvador Dali, Giordiano Bruno, Michelle Gondry, Albert Einstein, Steven Hawking, my mom. I am inspired by all sorts of creative fields from fashion to furniture to fine arts. I've found this strategy helps avoid being overly influenced by one person or piece of work or trend. I think it is important to gather a wide variety of inspiration from life outside of your specific medium to develop your own unique taste and perspective to bring in to your work. The information in this directory is provided to support the academic, administrative and business activities of the University of Adelaide. I am inspired by sculpture, furniture, fashion, psychology, music and sciences. ![]() However I don't look within the field of graphic design for inspiration. In terms of graphic design, I respect the work of Paula Scher, Eike Koenig / HORT, Designers Republic, Tibor Kalman, Stefan Sagmeister, Chip Kidd, George Lois, and Herb Lubalin, among many others. I try to not look within my own field for inspiration, or to take inspiration to heavily from one area, as that's when I run into danger of repeating things that have already been done. I read books about psychology and science, and blogs about popular. I go to shows, listen to music, and have conversations with friends. I frequent museums and shows and look at all kinds of creative work: painting, sculpture, fashion, furniture design to photography.

Sometimes it’s paint, or good old fashion pen and paper. For creative software I use indesign, illustrator, photoshop. I use all sorts of tools to create my work. Once I have an idea, that’s when I determine what method is best to bring that vision to life. I think play is essentially a mindset, where I allow myself the space and time to experiment and take risks without being afraid of failure. Often the best ideas come out of spontaneous play. The heart of much of what I do is discovery through experimentation. I value concept as highly as beautiful form, and I always start with the idea first.
