Tristan认为南非有许多独特的文化和美学， 特别是约翰内斯堡，在设计上的很多方面也是相当进步的。这给他留下了深刻的印象，并对他的工作产生了积极的启发。Tristan开始对那里的一切感兴趣。

“South Africa has so many unique cultures and aesthetics,” Tristan says. “That really leaves its mark, and positively inspires my work. Being such a young city, Johannesburg in many ways is quite progressive in terms of design, which I found interesting when I started doing work abroad.”

Tristan的灵感来自日本设计师Masamachi Katayama英国设计师Tom Dixon和瑞士人设计师Yves Behar。正是在这种能力的支持下， Tristan将当地的传统文化与全球的未来主义结合起来。整个非洲，尤其是南非，正在传达一种全球设计美学，其灵感来自非洲大陆的热情、潜力和文化多样性。

Tristan is inspired by the likes of Japanese designer Masamachi Katayama, British designer Tom Dixon, and Swiss designer Yves Behar. It is on the back of this ability — to integrate the local and the specific with the global and the futuristic.

Tristan认为作为一名设计师，他做的最好的事情就是将新想法融入客户的需求之中，为目标客户创造最好的体验，而不是仅仅把空间作为一个展示他设计技能的平台。

Tristan thinks that the best he can do as a designer is to infuse new ideas into his client’s brief, and create the best experience for the intended patrons, rather than creating spaces solely as a platform to showcase his design skill.
