ROB
Occupation: Graphic designer (nun)
How would you describe your personal style?
Casual street style.
Where do you get your style influences?
Vintage looks, pop art, and everything in between. A lot of my influence comes from my background in art and design. As a side note, Andy Warhol’s been a huge influence on me, in terms of colour and repetition.
What can you tell me about your shirt?
It’s a ringer tee from American Apparel. I use a lot of American Apparel in my design. The quality of the shirt is excellent for screen-printing. I screen-print t-shirts, so it’s great for that.
How about the logo?
The logo is “nun”, and that’s my design company. I don’t actually sell these. It’s just for promotion for the show.
Your pants?
They’re old Levi’s. I’ve had them for a long time and they’ve worn really well. You can’t go wrong with a pair of Levi’s.
Shoes?
I’ve always loved the Converse All Stars. I got this current pair at Value Village for five bucks, and I couldn’t believe it. When I saw it, I said, “OK, this is for me.” And they were in almost new condition, so it was a great deal.
Is there anything you’d never be caught dead in?
Tommy Hilfiger.
How did you get into graphic design?
I’ve always been a creative person. I’ve always been attracted to visual things. And that’s sort of where it led me.
What do you enjoy about being a graphic designer?
For me, it’s a creative outlet. I’ve got lots of ideas always spilling over in my mind, and this is just a way for me to put it out there.
What are your interests and hobbies?
I love the outdoors. I teach snowboarding. I’m a snowboarding instructor in the winter. I do lots of running in the summer, and a bit of biking. I enjoy lots of indie music. I manage a band. So, yeah, I keep myself busy.
Any final thoughts?
I think people should keep using whatever outlet allows their creative juices to flow. If you have an idea, go out there and pursue it in whatever form that manifests itself.
