“Being brave is increasingly hard to do, in a world where you feel like everybody’s eyes are on you, and everything you’re doing is being documented in some way. But you have to do things that make you feel uncomfortable in order to progress.”
When I first started working, you were either an architect, or a furniture designer, or an artist, or a fashion designer – you couldn’t do more than one thing, and you couldn’t deviate. For me, it’s been important to take away the labelling and to allow myself to move through different genres and industries. I’m a designer, but I have a fine art background, and I’ve worked in magazines. I consider myself an outsider, because I sit outside of fashion, art and design.
Today, everyone is having that conversation – but at the time it felt very new.You don’t get anywhere without hard work. For many years, I was doing photocopying and filing, emptying bins, staying until midnight every night, and working really, really hard to get where I wanted to get. Perhaps because expectations are so high, I find that some young people today are frustrated by the fact that they’re not getting anywhere very quickly.
