Designers can create normalcy out of chaos; they can clearly communicate ideas through the organising and manipulating of words and pictures.

Web-site creation isn't something you learn once and then check off on your to do list.

Good design can't fix broken business models.

I've been amazed at how often those outside the discipline of design assume that what designers do is decoration. Good design is problem solving.
