    I've always found endless inspiration listening to new music. I select wordless, long, melodictracks. I know I go into a design trance I no longer hear the music. I will also eat very light during these design stints to keep me alert, add a little high quality chocolate, coffee and a few puffs from the bong — get me in the right frame of design.

    Serious question: throughout your careers, what have you found motivated the designers and creatives around you to create the absolute best work they could? More importantly, if there was ever a need for people to rally together and take a big leap forwards in terms of quality of work, ideas, collaboration, etc. that resulted in significantly better work, what made that happen?

    Were the people around you inspired and did they inspire you and others to do great work? Did they share inspiration to help better engage people who might be a little out-of-the-loop in terms of finding creative inspiration, and using it to take their ideas up a notch?
