"The fact that I work on so many different types of products, is not because I want to do it for the sake of doing it. You know, it's not like, let's say, a box-ticking exercise for me. I view my role as a sort of troubleshooting. I'm kind of a gun for hire. Most of the clients that I have, they've identified a need to be able to look differently at how a problem might be solved. And I view it as a problem, because if it wasn't a problem, they wouldn't be coming to me. They'd be doing it themselves. And it's with those sorts of fresh eyes that I think small breakthroughs can be made."
