Explore the world, get uncomfortable, see new things. As I’ve gotten older, that has profound implications on the way that I think. It allows me to see my world differently.

Trust yourself and your beliefs. I tell my new design staff, “You’re here because of your talent and the way you think, and don’t hold that back.” There are a lot of people who will tell you what to do, and it is too easy to get caught up in a perceived hierarchy when you are new to a firm. Know that you have something to offer. Your attention and intention are so important to the work. Know that.
