In an ideal world, social responsibility would be a prerequisite for design, and designers would vow to produce beautiful, useful, positive, responsible, functional, and economical things and concepts that are meaningful additions to—or sometimes subtractions from—the world we live in. Indeed, design deserves such thoughtful consideration.

Designers stand between revolutions and everyday life. They’re able to grasp momentous changes in technology, science, and society and convert those changes into objects and ideas that people can understand.

Designers may be the true intellectuals of the future.

I want people to understand that design is so much more than cute chairs - that it is first and foremost everything that is around us in our life.

Elegance in objects is everybody’s right, and it shouldn’t cost more than ugliness.

While an artist can choose whether or not to be responsive and responsible towards other human beings, by definition a designer must be.

I consider video games a form of design that is amazingly important today and that is going to become even more important in the future, because it is a way we interact with machines and screens.
