The life of a designer is a life of fight. Fight against the ugliness. Just like a doctor fights against disease. For us, the visual disease is what we have around, and what we try to do is cure it somehow with design.

Good ideas turn into good designs fairly quickly. If you catch yourself fiddling too much with colors, borders and treatments to bring a design together, chances are the problem lies somewhere deeper.

All projects are different, but you have treat each one with care. Sometimes you get to build a luxury yacht; other times, it’ll be a rowboat. You still have to make sure the thing doesn’t spring a leak.
