I do different things. I'm a designer. I'm a painter.

I've become much more interested in architecture than I've ever been.

I love that the level of mediocrity rises.

What a designer does is he makes things possible that you didn't imagine could exist before, and it makes the world a better place. You know, it's a great thing to be doing. A fine artist does that, too, but they make the expression for themselves, not for others' use.

What makes me say "wow" is usually something I haven't encountered, in a new way... something I haven't encountered before or something I have encountered that I see in a new way.

Planning is design. As a designer what I tend to do, and what's different from being a painter, is that I interact with other people, and the people have things they need to have happen.

I'm hoping that I continue to be innovative on things that are tremendously visible and are still important projects.
