Design and technology should be the subject where mathematical brainboxes and science whizzkids turn their bright ideas into useful products.

I don't particularly follow the Bauhaus school of design where you make everything into a black box - simplify it.

When you say 'design ' everybody thinks of magazine pages. So it's an emotive word. Everybody thinks it's how something looks whereas for me design is pretty much everything.

I'm not into politics but I am committed to a cause: ensuring design technology and engineering stays on the U.K. curriculum alongside science and maths - grounding abstract theory merging the practical with the academic.

I don't design down to a price.

Britain's great strength is its innovative design and engineering natural ability and we're not using it.

I became an art major took every art class my school had to offer. In college I majored in Advertising Art and Design.

Leopard is an animal design and my designs come from nature.

A jellyfish is little more than a pulsating bell a tassel of trailing tentacles and a single digestive opening through which it both eats and excretes - as regrettable an example of economy of design as ever was.

A Nicklaus Design golf course is done by the guys in my company that I work with that have been trained in my vision and they do what they think I might do. They might come in the office and ask me questions and I'd certainly answer their questions but I'm not involved in the site visits or anything else.
