First thing in the morning...

The nice thing about being a designer is that I don’t work; for me it’s just play. That means I don’t have a typical day. In the morning I get up without an alarm clock - sit up and spend a few minutes pondering on how the day will pan out.

Fielding calls from potential clients concerning design projects...

With clients around the globe, from New York to Shenzhen and from Tokyo to Milan, I travel a lot to meet interesting people. I talk to clients and the companies I do the art direction for. After I discuss with clients, I huddle with my team and there are long discussions about running projects.

Trying to fit everything in your small bag...

Not so easy. However, I try and sort out work on priority basis.

Taking a moment for your coffee break...

For me a small break is a refreshing moment. It helps in rejuvenating the mind.

Coordinating pickup and delivery from wholesalers and design showrooms...

Touchwood, my efficient team takes care of all coordinations. I get too much engrossed with work.

Sleep...

At night, when I do not get disturbed by my constantly ringing phone, I design at my kitchen table, before I go to bed.
