Alain: For me, the key point is to have fun when you design, so the tools you use to design have to be fun. If it's boring, you will not finish what you're working on, so you need to have fun when working with a tool. You need to have fun when designing what you want to design. Clearly, it's really important. If I want to have some kind of comparison with automotive for Felix, even if the car is beautiful, if you do not manage to drive it, you will not use it, so you need to have something very funny to use to be able to create some amazing designs and to be able to test them easily in fact.
Felix: Yeah, I agree with Alain, that definitely, the most important thing is that you have fun when you are designing. If you don't love what you do, then you will never be good at it, for sure. And also that the tools have to be easy and encourage your creativity. If you use tools that are not handy, you know, then it will not be fun and as well it will block your creativity, because you need this flow and your tools should not block your flow.
And I would maybe add one more thing, and that's being brave. I feel that as a designer this is a bit similar to being an artist. You know, you put something from your inside, outside to the world and then they sort of judge it. They say “Yeah, I like it, I don't like it. I like your painting, I don't like it, I don't like your song”. So this can be sometimes tough, but as a designer or as an artist, you have to be brave and just not be afraid of putting your ideas, your creativity, your shapes outside to the public.
