A designer is someone who constructs while he thinks, someone for whom planning and making go together.

Apple products aren't simple technologies by any stretch, but there is a beautiful simplicity to them.

I like stuff designed by dead people. The old designers. They always got it right because they didn't have to grow up with computers. All of the people that made the spoon and the dishes and the vacuum cleaner didn't have microprocessors and stuff. You could do a good design back then.

What’s next for technology and design? A lot less thinking about technology for technology’s sake, and a lot more thinking about design. Art humanizes technology and makes it understandable.

It is why art and design will rise in importance during this century as we try to make sense of all the possibilities that digital technology now affords.

No place in the US better exemplifies the ethos to engineer new digital technologies than Silicon Valley

The problem isn't how to make the world more technological. It's about how to make the world more humane again.
