A1
Where are you typing this from?
A2

I’m obsessed with space documentaries

What do you watch/listen to while working?
A3

I usually listen to dancehall, techno or progressive house music.(Dubbel Dutch is my favourite tho)
I wish I could DJ whilst working, but apparently I don’t have 5 arms...

What have you been working on lately?
A4

I’ve was working on a visual piece for an audio/visual exhibition in New York that launched late August, a set of stickers for a new app compatible with iMessage and I’m also working on a series of GIFs for Local Heroes.

What work of yours are you most proud of? What tools do you use in your work?

Probably an audio/visual exhibition I curated earlier this year called VORTEX POP.

A5

My favorite tools are Photoshop, After Effects, Glitche app and my trusty ol’ iPhone.

Can you tell us about your process?
A6

I usually start off in Photoshop and build my artwork slowly and gradually. Sometimes I’ll bring into After Effects or play with it on Glitche to create a new effect then probably upload to Instagram lol.

Any last advice for the folks just starting out?
A7

People believe that talent is often the source behind good work. I actually just think if you work really hard and achieve your goals, you’ll become who you want to be.
