My mindset –
Design should be a lightning rod for good ideas. It's collaborative by nature.
In this era, good design isn't invisible – it's not only recognized but celebrated.
Getting there first doesn't predicate success. Craft and intention are differentiators.
No technology is neutral. Our world is filled with digital tools, so the forms they take are important.
