<p><strong>Have you ever tried skateboarding?</strong></p>

<p>No, growing up I was playing handball but I’ve gotten pretty lazy lately.</p>

<p><strong>I know you’ve probably answered this a million times, but tell us about your creative process. For instance, the illustrations for our&nbsp;</strong><a href="http://shop.skateistan.org/summer-19/"><strong>new products&nbsp;</strong></a><strong>— how did you decide what to draw, what colors to choose, etc.?</strong></p>

<p>I wanted to come up with something that hopefully a lot of children can identify with, which is why I didn’t draw real faces for instance. Although I tried a lot of color options, I like how we came down to the ones we actually used and that are inspired by Skateistan’s brand identity. My last goal was to create something that spreads joy and communicates friendship.</p>
