I managed to get a great response from Keetra Dean Dixon, she answered all my questions perfectly.

This is the response I got from her:

ok - PHEW! Finally got a sec. Thanks for being patient.


1.How would you describe yourself in three words?

Social, Irreverent, Bright

3. As a designer what do you specialise in?
Experience

4. Where does your inspiration come from? Who/what are you inspired by?

Make AMAZING WORK (I know, too obvious) Experiment a lot, take risks.

7. In what context is your work mainly used for?
Do you mean client based or independent? Or do you mean the platform/context? Event, architecture, interaction, etc. Either way - my work spreads over almost all arenas within the graphic design world. I have also been doing a lot of installation that falls into the art realm.

8. Finally are there any quotes that you live by?
I have a whole list!
•Make the work I wish I where making.
•Be courageous & vulnerable.
•Keep learning.
•Never settle.
•Fail often & I will progress.
•Invite disruptive change.
•Choose to believe my own opinion as much as I believe in others..
•Recognize my strength & be honest about my weakness.
•Invest in the fantastic - it can someday be real.
•Fail often & I will progress.
•Invite disruptive change.


Hope that is what you where looking for.
HAPPY MAKING!
many wishes
