In our quest to quickly make three-dimensional objects, we can miss out on the experience of making something that helps give us our first understandings of form and material, of the way a material behaves--'I press too hard here, and it breaks here' and so on. Some of the digital rendering tools are impressive, but it's important that people still really try and figure out a way of gaining direct experience with the materials.

We don't do focus groups - that is the job of the designer.

Really great design is hard. Good is the enemy of great.

If something is going to be better, it is new, and if it's new you are confronting problems and challenges you don't have references for.

What we make testifies who we are. People can sense care and can sense carelessness.

Simplicity is somehow essentially describing the purpose and place of an object and product.

We don't do focus groups - that is the job of the designer. It's unfair to ask people who don't have a sense of the opportunities of tomorrow from the context of today to design.
