I was really just a hard-core geek, if you will, in 1996, and was building websites as a hobby. I started doing a lot of web design and development and built my first website on the now-defunct GeoCities platform. – Matt Mickiewicz
I’m an e-patient: equipped, enabled, empowered, engaged. I’m no clinician, but I do everything in my power to help them, to play an active role in my own care, and even in the design of care. – Dave deBronkart
I decided to go to school for advertising and graphic design. That was what I was gonna do but acting is that thing, it’s like a splinter in your mind and you can’t get rid of it. So I decided to move to L.A. a few years ago and it just snowballed into this thing called ‘The Hunger Games.’ – Dayo Okeniyi
The United States government first learned of the diversion of the W-88 nuclear warhead design in late 1995. – Charles Bass
A good scientist is a person with original ideas. A good engineer is a person who makes a design that works with as few original ideas as possible. There are no prima donnas in engineering. – Freeman Dyson
Design is a constant challenge to balance comfort with luxe, the practical with the desirable. – Donna Karan
Traditional horizontal search engines cannot always identify the target audience, niche or vertical industry of a page or site. Vertical search engines address this issue by the nature of their design. They identify sites according to more specific criteria and sometimes even by human input. – Marc Ostrofsky
Any set of decisions about design is inevitably influenced by cultural prejudice, no matter how intent an architect might be to avoid it. – Martin Filler
I think there is a new awareness in this 21st century that design is as important to where and how we live as it is for museums, concert halls and civic buildings. – Daniel Libeskind
I always look forward to the next project. That is one of the wonderful things about architecture – you always can hope for another project to design. – Cesar Pelli
I design for the use of a building and the place and for the people who use it… the reputation for arrogance comes because when work is offered to me, I look whether I can find a genuine interest in quality. – Peter Zumthor
Watching my dad, Ralph Lauren, design clothes when I was young, I was always inspired. – Dylan Lauren
Design and style should work toward making you look good and feel good without a lot of effort so you can get on with the things that matter. – Donna Karan
Graphic Design, which fulfills aesthetic needs, complies with the laws of form and exigencies of two-dimensional space; which speaks in semiotics, sans-serifs, and geometrics; which abstracts, transforms, translates, rotates, dilates, repeats, mirrors, groups, and regroups, is not good design if it is irrelevant. – Paul Rand
If you see a player out in public having dinner, chances are he’s with his boring money manager or some boring rich guy he hopes to design a golf course for. – Dan Jenkins
Every other piece of industrial design is a pot or a dish or something insignificant. But when you have a chair, it’s like a sculpture of a person: it’s alive. It’s big. You can’t miss it. It’s a ‘look at me!’ item. – Charles Pollock
I’m into designing houses and interior design. I like change. I like creating things out of nothing. – Chris Kirkpatrick
Design schools are good, I guess, sometimes I visit schools, but they are very very limiting. – Marc Newson
Everything else – music, cinematography, costumes, design, acting – can be judged at face value. But when you’re looking at editing, you don’t know what the totality of the material was, and you don’t know the working dynamic between a director and an editor – whether the editor was micromanaged or given free rein. It’s very difficult. – Christopher Rouse

I love fashion, and I’ve always wanted to do costume design, but I’m in jeans and T-shirts most of the time. – Clemence Poesy
If I was influenced by anything, it was architecture: structure having to do with logic. If you don’t do it right, the whole thing is going to cave in. In a certain sense, you can carry that to graphic design. Fortunately, however, nobody is going to die if you do it wrong. – Paul Rand
I didn’t want to be an actor. I wanted to design historical movies like ‘Ben-Hur’. I saw this as my life. – Dante Ferretti
