“You’ve heard of S.T.E.M, well I’m a big fan of S.T.E.A.M, so it becomes Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Maths. I think the magic happens when you bring science and art together. You need that cognitive diversity – if you can bring people together who have different ways of thinking then you can come up with some really great ideas.”
