Interview

3 questions

› What is your favorite item in your workspace?

I love my Ergotron monitor mount. I originally bought a cheap one but it just wasn't good enough for a big screen. The Ergotron feels like it will last forever.

› How do you spark creativity?

I try to be creative away from my desk. Sitting at the dining table with a big A3 notebook or walking in my local park with a little notepad to hand. I try to limit desk time to getting stuff done and away-from-desk time for coming up with plans and working on ideas.

› How do you manage work-life balance?

My body naturally regulates it by giving me really bad neck and shoulder pains when I spend too much time at the desk. If I spend all weekend at my desk, I'll be in agony by the following Wednesday. So I take regular tea breaks. I try to stretch out as much as possible and go for walks at lunchtime. And I try to limit time at my desk.
