20 Questions for 20 Years: Clint Nagata on BLINK, Culture and What Comes Next

To celebrate BLINK Design Group’s 20th anniversary, we shot 20 quick-fire questions to Founder and Creative Partner Clint Nagata, giving us the chance to learn more about the man behind the studio, the company he has built and some of the smaller details you may never have had the opportunity to ask.

His answers took us from the story behind the BLINK name and the career risk that started it all, to bronze owls born from a design problem, salt air drying on warm teak and a long-standing appreciation for Maroon 5’s Sunday Morning. We discovered the places still on his travel wish list, heard why his favourite project will always be the next one and were reminded that, for Clint, the most valuable lessons of the past two decades come back repeatedly to culture, curiosity and the relationships built along the way.
