The Voice of Professional Design

DIA Off The Cuff

Andrew Whittaker

Occupation
Industrial Designer - Partner (Fingo)

Born
Hobart (yep, heard them all)

Lives
Adelaide

Likes
Swimming at my local beach and any food high in carbohydrates

Disikes
Death and taxes

Last book that I read
'A brief history of just about everything' by Bill Bryson

My last supper would be
Mum’s roast

4WD owner
Had a couple of Subarus – great cars

Best design I've seen lately
The Renovo range of timber and bamboo bicycles

Worst design I've seen lately
The Deepwater Horizondrilling rig just off the coast of Mexico

In my spare time
I swim, ride, play with my kids and watch crap late night TV

I love design because
I get paid to do colouring in

If I wasn't a designer
I would be a helicopter pilot for a wealthy Mediterranean yacht owner

If I ruled the world
I’d make solar energy compulsory on every home. Bob Geldof can do the rest.
