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.

An oft overlooked side effect of our post-industrialist world-push for ‘more, faster’ is that there is so often a disconnect between our physical and imagined worlds  – Our creative community’s minds fashion ideas way quicker than we can hope to produce them so by extension, and paradoxically, the ‘faster’ and ‘better’ we push things to become, the more time we end up waiting. More interesting still is in our incessant drive for speed, we invariably lose quality or focus in what we are trying to achieve.
