We like soup because we like things which are more than the sum of their parts.
We are Emma McClintock, Duncan Neil and Aoife Ludlow; 3 individuals who are good at different things.
We don’t always agree [Emma likes white, Duncan wants pink, Aoife thinks grey] but when we do agree it’s usually a sign that we’ve done something good.
We like to agree [we also like to argue sometimes]
We like to work together, doing interesting things.
