Blend Tradition with Tech: Mixed Tapes for Success
I’ve realized that the key to my life and work is MIXED TAPES. 1. Design: I put centuries in conversation when creating spaces. Baroque beside ‘80s Memphis, Deco against Brutalism. 2. Longevity: I track biometrics with my Oura ring, optimize sleep with Eight Sleep, and use computer vision tools to get better at Padel. But I get my nutrients naturally, the old way. Sauerkraut for probiotics, kiwis for fiber, walnuts for brain health, full-fat Greek yogurt for healthy fats. 3. Studio culture: I push for in-person over Zoom or email, always. But every team member is expected to use AI across every part of their workflow. 4. Creative Process: I like to couple hand sketches with the latest AI rendering tools The pattern? Keep tradition, add new tools. Every time.
