What will you say about the work you’ve done at the end of your career?

It was a long tough journey, but worth it.

Where do you go for inspiration?

1) To the shower or a pool – water has an amazing inspirational power for me. 2) For a long run outside – natural stimuli at a moving pace triggers ideas for me. If I add water, that is, run in the rain, even more powerful! 3) Trip to the bookstore. Pick a section, pick a book, open a chapter. Always fun.

I keep a list of ideas, articles, websites, podcasts tagged as “inspirational”. When needed I dig in to that for either myself or someone else who needs a boost.

What gets you up in the morning?

How is your work cross-cultural?

Working with a sustainability mindset requires a person to think vastly and systemically. This includes consideration of all peoples of the earth regardless of community, nationality, religious beliefs and geographic location. When designing systems or creating new products or services, keeping these as considerations during the development process will only help lessen the chance of getting it wrong. (Lessen, not eliminate!)
