Every kid thinks about the Heisman Trophy and dreams about it, but you never think it could happen to you.
I always just wanted to be a cheesy guy on television.
The combination of a blazer over any T-shirt with a pair of jeans is foolproof.
We meet no ordinary people in our lives. If you give them a chance, everyone has something amazing to offer.
Talking is what I do, but listening is my job.

I am troubled by the devaluing of the word 'design’. I find myself now being somewhat embarrassed to be called a designer. In fact I prefer the German term, Gestalt-Ingenieur. Apple and Vitsoe are relatively lone voices treating the discipline of design seriously in all corners of their businesses.

Ever fewer people appear to understand that design is a serious profession; and for our future welfare we need more companies to take that profession seriously.
