I stayed true to what I thought was good design no matter who it was for.
I don't care what people call me, labels have the negative value of making smaller boundaries for people.
Architectural and product designs have a narrative capacity - you can start to tell a story about them and imagine a lot of things.
I know that's not something that people like to do - identify a favorite. But I do.
The dialogue of architecture has been centered too long around the idea of truth.
I learned in architecture that you have to have a real plan. You have to have a client, they have to have distribution, start-up money, and have a vision of where it's going to go. All this has to be settled before you start, or else your work is just a story.
