Interview with Ashley Thornton, furniture and interior designer. Age 25. Comes from Huddersfield.

What does Domane do?
Did you always plan to do this?
Well, I always knew I wanted to be a designer. I did a foundation course at Huddersfield School of Art - at that stage I thought I wanted to do graphic design but, on the course, I became really interested in the design of products and objects. I went on to do a degree in 3D design at Leeds Metropolitan University and specialised in furniture design. That's where I met Ben.
Why did you set up your own business?
So how did Domane come about so quickly?
And the business has grown?
What do you like most about what you do?
Anything negative about it?
Any advice?
Do you look forward to work every day?
