design
I'm going to design the container and interior spaces. You bring your own stuff to it and make it your own.
wall office people
People live and work in uninspiring environments, but look inside those rooms. Look at the painted walls and the decorations. People rebel even in the most controlled office environment in which they're not allowed to do anything. You see the little bulletin board in front of a person's desk with their photos, clippings, cartoons and whatever else.
expression design may
Your best work is your expression of yourself. Now, you may not be the greatest at it, but when you do it, you're the only expert.
kind talent persons
Not every person has the same kinds of talents, so you discover what yours are and work with them.
expression best-work
Your best work is your expression of yourself.
being-yourself artist advice
The best advice I've received is to be yourself. The best artists do that.
motivational work sweat
For me, every day is a new thing. I approach each project with a new insecurity, almost like the first project I ever did. And I get the sweats. I go in and start working, I'm not sure where I'm going. If I knew where I was going I wouldn't do it.
being-yourself example messages
The message I hope to have sent is just the example of being yourself.
being-yourself self-esteem messages
The message I hope to have sent is just the example of being yourself. I tell this to my students: It's not about copying me or my logic systems. It's about allowing yourself to be yourself.
starting-over healthy insecurity
Each project, I suffer like I'm starting over again in life. There's a lot of healthy insecurity that fuels this stuff.
new-things
For me, every day is a new thing.
chicago architecture visible
Chicago's one of the rare places where architecture is more visible.
ties people looks
And I realized, when I'd come in to the meetings with these corrugated metal and chain link stuff, and people would just look at me like I'd just landed from Mars. But I couldn't do anything else. That was my response to the people and the time.
perception overcoming knows
I don't know how to overcome this perception that I'm extravagant.
