Had a chance to ask the extraordinary founder, CEO, and Head of Design at Teenage Engineering, Jesper Kouthoofd, Three Questions (although I had to sneak in a few extra).
Pretty excited about this one. Without further ado...

Synth History: How did you start Teenage Engineering?
Jesper: So, my background is, I had another company called Acne, which was like a fashion company. We did a lot of different things, then I left that company. When you start a company, sometimes you get super bored from handling all the employees and all that. The culture became something I didn’t like. So I quit and I started to do commercials, directing commercials.
