Interview by Sigrid Tornquist

What is your industry prediction?

I think the concept of rental will become more popular instead of making more stuff for the planet. Hopefully, with fabric structures walking lightly on the earth, we will play a big part in change for the better.

What is your best advice?

When you fail, you’ve got to try it again. When somebody tells you “no,” you’ve got to say “yes.”

What is your business philosophy?

I don’t wake up in the morning thinking about how much money I’m going to make or how I’m going to make that money; I think about how I am going to make a fabric structure that will be such a delight to people that they can’t help but buy it.

What is your business strength?

My ability to be innovative at the last minute. We take the jobs that will bring us intellectual property.
