【Interview】 Mai Hiro x Nooka “Matthew Waldman”
Sometimes many things in our lives stay the same, over and over again since birth. The way we view time is like a universal languages. It seems like no matter what or when, many things never change. Yet Nooka takes a creative idea and changes the way we see time. Not just digitally or numerically, but decimally! The “dots system” creates a unique way to view our time at any given moment. Maybe they are proving that many things are capable of changing if we believe in taking the creative step to make a change. So we asked The Nooka founder Matthew Waldman with four simple question about his vision and continue to inspire others.
-What is your vision for Nooka?
I have always envisioned a world where we as people all function as citizens of planet earth. All of my design and brand work champions the concept of universal language. A universal language with the goal of creating optimism for our shared future. NOOKA is part of this vision and I wish to see the brand create more lifestyle products in the wearable computing and fashion technology space. What we here like to call MINDSTYLE®
– Can you Shared us little bit about your “WHY” from Nooka?
So much in fashion is not future-forward, especially for men. I feel the future is the only place you are sure to go, so we should all look the part. Moreover, the “NOOKAFESTO” is very much about promoting new ideas and new connections between people, the objects they use, and the people they meet. To me this is a very positive motivation for me staying passionate about NOOKA.
-How can you continue to inspire others as a brand creator?
To show that there is value in maintaining consistency in message, design quality, and convictions. it is the brands that tell a consistent and compelling story that add the most value to the consumer and to society. i like to think i am a good example of this philosophy.
-What is your future goal for Nooka?
We looking to bring the vision of the brand to a wider array of products: wearable computing, fashion technology, and experiences that promote our philosophy. right now we are very niche and only known by the creative community. the goal is to go global and touch the lives of as many people as we can.
