When I have to critique someone else's web design, rather than write up a giant email or take a screengrab and move stuff around in Photoshop, I put together a really quick CSS doc making my changes.

If you are on Craigslist to get a sofa, and you see one for free. You think there’s something tragically wrong with it - maybe there are bedbugs. But if you see a sofa on there for $2,500, you think ‘oh man, that sofa must be amazing’. It’s the same thing with art - you set your own value.

Web design is something that's super technical but can be super tedious if you have to deal with asshole clients.

Every new thing you make will be (should be) the nicest thing you’ve made so far, because you’re learning and getting better with each and every new project.

If you say that you're a cheap designer, you're a cheap designer. It's really hard to recover from that.

I was a generalist in college. You take a lot of courses to feel out what you're interested in. I really felt web design was too limited for me to interested in it - [instead] I was really into typography.
