Ross McBride graduated with a BA degree in graphic design from the California Institute of the Arts in 1985. Upon graduation Ross McBride moved to Tokyo where he has lived and worked ever since. Today Ross McBride focuses on product- and furniture design. “I see design as a predominantly problem-solving exercise like a puzzle. Half of the work is defining the problem, and how creative you are with this endeavor affects the quality of the solution. It is this challenge that makes the work enjoyable.“
