"I once fell asleep in a 5th century chapel somewhere in North Spain during the Camino de Santiago. Paulo Coelho mentioned it in one of his books and he told a story about a black dog that would haunt the place at night for years ..."
WHAT ARE YOU DOING DURING THE DAY?
During the day I am mostly producing digital projects at Elespacio - a small studio here in Barcelona. I also spend a great deal of my time helping out Ivonne at Ada Blackjack. For the rest I usually like to play with my little one, Zowie.
WHAT TIME DO YOU USUALLY GET UP?
I usually get up between 7.30 and 8.00. I used to sleep out a lot, but now with my one-year old that´s history. But I actually don't mind, I have more hours to do things.
HOW DOES YOUR ALARM SOUND?
Like a hungry baby.
WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU DO IN THE MORNING?
Make a bottle for Zowie (my kid) and fill the cat´s bow.
COFFEE OR TEA?
Coffee! I don´t really mind what kind it is as long as it´s coffee.
DO YOU LIKE HAVING BREAKFAST? AND WHAT DO YOU HAVE?
I am a light eater in the morning, I have a toast with jam - same as Zowie.
DO YOU THINK YOU GET ENOUGH SLEEP?
After becoming a dad, enough sleep is an over statement.
WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOURSELF AS A GOOD SLEEPER?
Yes, I guess so. I fall asleep pretty easily, even after getting up at night to change nappies.
WHERE DO YOU SLEEP BEST?
In my own bed.
WHAT ARE THE THINGS YOU NEED FOR A GOOD SLEEP?
A good blanquet, good pillow and an empty head.
DO YOU REMEMBER YOUR DREAMS?
Just flashes of it. Most of the times I can just remember the feeling I had during the dream, rather than what it was about.
WHAT ARE THE THINGS ON YOUR NIGHTSTAND?
Usually a book, helps me fall asleep - and a box of wax ear plugs which Ivonne wears at night. Apparently I am a noisy sleeper. Also some flowers and plants to keep the air fresh and the good energy flowing in the bedroom.
DESCRIBE YOUR BED IN 3 WORDS.
Warm, soft and cozy.
WHAT IS THE MOST SPECIAL OR WEIRDEST SPOT YOU’VE FALLEN ASLEEP?
I once fell asleep in a 5th century chapel somewhere in North Spain during the Camino de Santiago. Paulo Coelho mentioned it in one of his books and he told a story about a black dog that would haunt the place at night for years. Everyone there said the dog was still around and every pilgrim had a story to tell about the famous animal.
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DREAM ABOUT TONIGHT?
About a long vacation somewhere beautiful. I need it!
