FS: Could you please tell us more about your art and design background? What made you become an artist/designer? Have you always wanted to be a designer?
CB: I wanted to create things since I was a kid and finally decided to become a designer. I studied industrial design for 5 years.
FS: Can you tell us more about your company / design studio?
CB: I am now working as a designer in Kiska, designing both products, apparel, sometimes motorcycles parts and other very interesting projects.
FS: What is "design" for you?
CB: Design is not easy to explain but if I have to define it, I would say design is a way to give a sense to products. The design thinking is part of my life at any moment, paying attention to any detail around.
FS: What kinds of works do you like designing most?
CB: Footwear, apparel and any sport related product are my favorite things to design.
FS: What was the first thing you designed for a company?
CB: I designed perfume bottles during my first internship, after my first year of design studies.
FS: What is your favorite material / platform / technology?
CB: I don't have a favorite material but I do have a strong interest for materials in general, especially when designing soft goods.
FS: When do you feel the most creative?
CB: When I have fun and when I like what I do, definitely.
FS: What kind of emotions do you feel when your designs are realized?
CB: It's always a great feeling to see your own idea become real, especially when it is a product that I can use or wear myself.
FS: What makes a design successful?
CB: Depends which kind of product we are talking about.
FS: When judging a design as good or bad, which aspects do you consider first?
CB: What is the use ? Who is the target ? What is the context ?
FS: From your point of view, what are the responsibilities of a designer for society and environment?
CB: The designer's work can have a big impact on society and environment. It is essential to pay attention to the process and materials of a product or the interaction people will have with it, what could change and how, in order to make a change in the good way only.
FS: How do you think the "design field" is evolving? What is the future of design?
CB: I think the design field is following the big trends, getting more digital, making the environment one of the main priorities, etc.
FS: Thank you for providing us with this opportunity to interview you.
