I find that I'm at my least creative point when I am doing something that I've done in repetition and I know all the rules - I never break the rules because I know them.

For people who make inventions, whether they make scientific inventions or artistic inventions, they're driven by pretty much the same thing. It's some mistrust from somebody saying it couldn't be a certain way, and overthrowing that. But that can happen at any point in history, at any time you come along. It doesn't get better or worse because you're born in this era or that era - I think it's more individualistic. It comes from within, you know, it's an internal thing.

I think that it's a great time to be a designer.

I like what I do. So why would I want to stop doing it?

When I paint I do a different thing than when I design. But both involve aesthetics, both involve thought, both involve planning.

The job of the designer is to make things understandable, usable, accessible, enjoyable... important to a public, that involves the public.

Design really can be anything.
