I don't want being a woman to be a factor, or being short to bea factor, or being Jewish to be a factor, or anything that makes you outside some design "norm"that I don't understand anyway. That makes me nervous.

I love that the level of mediocrity rises.

Having no purpose is the function of art, so somebody else can look at it and ask a question. Design is different - you're supposed to understand what's going on. You can be delighted by it, intrigued by it, but you're supposed to know it's a hot dog stand.

Marketing is not inherently bad. That's just dumb. That's said by somebody that isn't doing enough work.

It took me a few seconds to draw it, but it took me 34 years to learn how to draw it in a few seconds.

Identity means "how do I get known? How do I expressmyself?" and that's generally what I'm helping somebody do. It may be three dimensional, it may be a public space, it may involve government,it may involve cultural institutions, it may involve corporations, it may involve editorial publications - it can be anything, really.

What makes me say "wow" continually changes. It changes based on what I know.
