In this conversation, Thomas speaks about unlearning conventions, valuing time over deliverables, and building a studio that thinks as much as it creates. He reflects on freedom as a form of discipline, the need for chaos within structure, and the importance of curiosity as a lifelong skill. We discuss his early years in magazines and skate culture, his project on neurodivergence, and how running and travel fuel his creative process. A dialogue about independence, attention, and the courage to think for yourself — and how fiction, in the end, can often reveal more truth than function.
