You never know what motivates you.
I can, therefore I am.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Know or listen to those who know.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
I try to look at design from a more conceptual standpoint.
Art has definitely influenced how I think of design, both as individual items and as a body of work.
