Websites are kind of useless. There's so much great web content and design out there but the ways in which they are being experienced are not being maximized.

I think it is really important to have a sense of business. As a designer you can get so wrapped up in the design and fashion side that you forget the business side.

So if I want to buy a light in a shop and I don't find a light that I like I think to myself what would I like? What would I like to buy? Then I started to imagine and design it for myself a lot of the time.

So if I design it and then go away it's still living somewhere and it still exists by itself without me.

Design schools are good I guess sometimes I visit schools but they are very very limiting.

Well I never studied design and I went to art school to study art you know sculpture and things like that and ended up making things like sculpture and started making chairs and jewelry together and that's how I started.

There are two kinds of designers: ones who are very happy locked in their office surrounded by their coterie. The last thing they need to do is to go to a trunk show they'd go running for the hills. I not only enjoy it I think how do you design things that are applicable to life - unless you live it?

I write the way you might arrange flowers. Not every try works but each one launches another. Every constraint even dullness frees up a new design.

I have been wildly enthused about gaming since I was younger and a career path I chose not to go down but did really consider was getting into programming and game design.

Clearly programming courses should teach methods of design and construction and the selected examples should be such that a gradual development can be nicely demonstrated.
