“Designers are by nature more inquisitive, more connected. They dig a little deeper in terms of insights. They turn those insights into innovation. That connection to the consumer is absolutely critical in driving innovation.

It has to be up front.” LittlesOrderTurnsTermRoomsFrontsDesignConnectionsInnovationMarketingDeeperInsightConnectedCriticalDrivingConsumersCooksDesignerInquisitiveMerchandising Author:Mark Parker
“I had always made pictures as I thought I saw the world, focusing on what lay in front, but this is not how one sees the world. It only frames the centre and cuts off the lateral vision, which lies unfocused.

More often than not, we end up more committed to what we want the Bible to say than what it actually says.” WantEndsBeautifulTurnsForceVoiceFrontsFitHolySticksCommittedComplicatedListsToneCreedsDiverseBulletsPreferenceSimplifyLoadedAdjectivesManifestosCacophony Author:Rachel Held Evans

“It's amazing to me that not only can we put a probe around Saturn and get images of its moons, but our math and physics are so freaking accurate we can say, "Hey, you know what?
