Kayte Judge is a social artist from Bedford. She’s brought Revolutionary Arts to Bedford for talks, Ted x and to help develop an empty shops strategy for the town. We asked her a few simple questions in return.
Who do you admire the most?
Women in DIY technology: Beth Koby – Technology Will Save Us; the inventor of Sugru is pretty cool too. I also have a special ‘high five’ reserved for the founder of San Francisco’s Exploratorium (whoever they may be) and I am forever indebted to whoever invented calpol.
Best piece of advice you received?
You can choose to sell your time or your ideas. Time is limited, ideas are not.
Which is your favourite word?
Elegant. I like to use it to describe neat thinking.
Reasons to be cheerful?
Having a project on the go. Having the freedom to undertake good work. My kids fill me with joy. Dancing.
What are your guilty pleasures?
I have a sweet tooth – honeycomb ice team is heaven in a bowl to me.

Ideas, big ideas. And my daughter.
What is your favourite colour?
Turquoise.
