Every project is an opportunity to learn, to figure out problems and challenges, to invent and reinvent.

I like entertainment and think mastery is good, though I don't feel like a master. If a theme means having a story that's legible, then that's certainly what we do. But we don't treat design as an add-on layer.

Good restaurant design is about achieving equilibrium between the food, service, and design - in effect, telling a complete story.

Portable designs have the power to transform unused public spaces into dynamic environments that build and invite communal experiences.

Technology should be used to create unforgettable experiences that enhance our natural and built environments, transforming them in newly meaningful ways.
