Using a wide range of media and techniques to explore my fascination for creativity, I have worked in many fields from fine art, graphic design, web design, animation, 3d modelling, visualization, product design, HCI, UX, user interface design. Before moving to Bali, I was Director of Research and Development at Jawbone. I now work mainly on product design focused on sustainability. I ran a lecture series in London at Tate Modern on computer graphics under my company Supernatural and continue to work on speech writing and presentation development. I currently use this site as a portfolio of recent projects and concepts and also home to my blog where I discuss ideas, news and areas of this great wide world that pique my diverse interests ...and yes, my real name is zissou.

Sustainability

Since moving to Bali in 2010 I have become far more deeply involved in sustainable thinking and design. I have built a bamboo home in the jungle, grow a wide range of fruit and vegetables and make a concerted effort to become more aware and considerate of nature and it's vital role in allowing us to live on this planet. To this end, should you have a creative project you feel could advance this type of neo-realism and are looking for creative assistance, you can contact me via the link above.

Knurling

Knurling is a manufacturing process, typically conducted on a lathe, whereby a visually-attractive diamond-shaped (criss-cross) pattern is cut or rolled into metal or wood. This pattern allows hands or fingers to get a better grip on the knurled object than would be provided by the originally-smooth  surface. I like knurled surfaces.

John Landy's butterflies

John Landy’s butterflies and moths

Since the age of eight, John Landy has been collecting moths and butterflies. Now 80, John has quite the collection, possibly one of the largest in the southern hemisphere.  This afternoon I was treated to a viewing and blown away – the variety of shape, size and color was staggering. To top it off, not only is each specimen meticulously positioned and hand labelled, John also hand makes each box

Yesterday

Spotted on the pavement while on a stroll through Melbourne. I like the way the decender of the ‘y’ on today almost looks like a smile
