Life's essentials with Sam Wells

Meet one of the newest additions to our design team, Sam Wells. Joining as our product development lead, he comes with a range of experience working in industries such as home appliances, digital visual effects, and even high-end boutique furniture. With such an interesting background we thought that this was the perfect time to take a different angle with our team spotlights.

 

This time around we wanted to learn a bit more about what really makes Sam tick, so we came to him with two simple questions. Read his answers below:

What are five essential everyday items you can’t live without?

 

1) An endless supply of plain black t-shirts

 

These are a must in my life. Staple tees, box tees, or cotton tees. Rain, hail or shine, you’ll find me in one of these.

 

2) Chilli oil

 

I’m a big fan of spice and it turns out the best match for any meal is chilli oil. In my opinion at least.

 

3) Cold natural wine

 

As much as I said chilli oil is the perfect match for any meal, a cold natural wine on a hot day is a close second. You just can’t beat it.

 

4) Bic and Muji fine-tip pens

 

I’m not always very picky, but when it comes to pens I most definitely am. Must be my inner designer talking. These ones are best tools for the trade—the finest tip, ink flow, and zero smudge. I need a safe stash of these everywhere I go.

 

5) To-do lists

 

Always a great way to keep an eye on what you need to do throughout the busy working week. These lists are littered through my life forever incomplete but a comfort for me.
