Environment Buster sits in my design studio in his armchair while I work. There are fruit trees in the back, and a clear view to the garden in the front. My art studio is a small building in the backyard, with white walls and a colourful handpainted floor.

Why it Matters Design is part insight, part inspiration,
part invention. As a designer, it is my job to listen. To watch.
To find and create -- then to remove. To polish the essential until it best reflects what matters to you. Valerie
