There's a fun, nostalgic aspect to Legos - people connect to the art on a different level. But it's also a medium that lets me design anything I can imagine. I especially enjoy creating curvy forms using rectangular pieces. Up close, you notice the sharp angles, but when you back away, the corners blend into curves.
To design the future effectively, you must first let go of your past.
I do very little industrial design. I'm asked a lot, but I certainly don't see myself as an industrial designer.
We do have a two against one rule. If two sisters feel very strongly about a design or trend we want to try, we go for it.
When I design and wonder what the point is, I think of someone having a bad time in their life. Maybe they are sad and they wake up and put on something I have made and it makes them feel just a bit better. So, in that sense, fashion is a little help in the life of a person. But only a little.
