Skill in the digital age is confused with mastery of digital tools, masking the importance of understanding materials and mastering the elements of form.

Really great products, like @nest, have #design baked in from the beginning instead of slapped on at the end.

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

The simplest way to achieve simplicity is through thoughtful reduction.

Art shows us that human beings still matter in a world where money talks the loudest, where computers know everything about us, and where robots fabricate our next meal and also our ride there.

The best designers in the world all squint when they look at something. They squint to see the forest from the trees - to find the right balance. Squint at the world. You will see more, by seeing less.

Technology makes possibilities. Design makes solutions. Art makes questions. Leadership makes actions.
