Using a wide range of media and techniques to explore my fascination for creativity, I work in many fields including fine art, photography, graphic design, web design, 3d modelling, visualization, product design, HCI, UX and 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.

Endangered language project

According to some estimates, there are at least 87 languages that are completely extinct. These languages aren’t “dead,” which is how we characterize languages that are preserved or practiced in some form, like ancient Greek. They’re simply no longer in use at all. Read on…

Coming through the forest

There are only a few times in my life I have been so openly aghast by a spectacle – the first close-up sighting of an orangutan in its natural habitat is something I hope never to forget. Read on…

Bret Victor – Math killer

A fascination of mine since I first dabbled with web design and later 3D was how much fun maths could be – more to the point, how much fun math should have been throughout those mind-numbing childhood classes. It would seem I am not alone. Read on…
