designboom met michael young in milan on april 15th, 2009

db: describe your style, like a good friend of yours would
describe it.
I'd say...pretty sloppy. (smiles)

db: please describe an evolution in your work,
from your first projects to the present day.
I think when I started design, I could only use a ruler
and a circle template. now, I've got a really good studio,
so whatever I sketch is getting a lot more mature
and sophisticated. I guess it's evolved a hell of a lot
conceptually and industrially.
