What is your favourite item in your workspace?

All the art made by my friends; I have some nice ceramic vessels and other pieces that sit on my desk.

How do you spark creativity?

Usually by getting away from the computer; attending lectures, going to art galleries, having a few pints with someone who also works in a creative discipline.

How do you keep the work-life balance with so many projects going on at once?

Sticking to a set schedule and planning my days well. I’ve never really had an issue with work-life balance and I think sometimes it’s OK if the two intertwine.
