WHAT IS THE BIGGEST MISTAKE YOU HAVE MADE? Wasting time caring about other people's opinions.…

What inspired the brand name? A mood and a feeling…

I think the best think I did to keep me inspired and ideas flowing was forcing myself into the habit of writing down everything I see that might turn into a concept immediately on the notes on my phone.
