If you’re feeling stuck, or uninspired, how do go about transforming your thoughts?

In this case, I love to transform my thoughts into sketches. I draw myself as a little silhouette in the middle of the page and start to organize my different thoughts around me, into some physical presence. It is also nice to see those personal maps later on.

What practices do you have around analyzing or being critical of your own work?

Giving myself time is very important. ‘Never fall in love with your own ideas’ is also a good base. I try to ask myself the right questions and to respond in an objective way.

As my work focuses on human uses, the analysis of gestures, using storyboards, is a good way to check if the result is essential enough.
