“If you have an idea you’re excited about and you don’t bring it to life, it’s not uncommon for the idea to find its voice through another maker. This isn’t because the other artist stole your idea, but because the idea’s time has come.”

- "On closer scrutiny, it turns out that many of today's problems are a result of yesterday's solutions". Thomas Sowell

"I don't need time. What I need is a deadline." — Duke Ellington
“If you want to make people like things, work in advertising. If you want to make things people like, work in design.” - Brian Collins
