Why the name 'Scarfoot'? ​

​

The name comes is inspired by the Zen Buddhism idea of not chasing desires, of accepting negative experiences just as we accept positive ones -- and yes, I have a scar on my foot from a childhood road accident. 

​

How is this relevant to my work? I see the role of the designer or artist as a visual and behavioural problem solver. Often, solving a problem involves asking the right questions and framing them in the right way. My work is an extension of my meditative practice, of exploring interconnectedness through design and art, of reducing suffering in whatever form possible.
