Manifesto
I believe in good ideas. Design must be concept-oriented, uber-functional, and beautiful.
I believe design = everything. Design is unlimited: be it painting, theatre production, user interface design, or corporate identity, design is cultural. It changes the way we think as a society. Design influences every aspect of our lives and it should make experiences more emotionally engaging and intellectually stimulating.
I believe in clicking and touching. Technology has birthed a new generation of design: our daily interactions with design now take place more often on the screen than in print. Design is the filter between human and machine. Aesthetics and ideas must now be interactive. Yet, our roots are still important: an app should be just as well composed as a painting in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
