Designers used to be kept behind veiled doors. Now they are often the faces of companies.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Interior design is a business of trust.
Designers are very fickle. I never wanted to be a victim of that. You're in one minute, out the next.
A lot of people don't get it, but I design from the inside out so that the finished product looks inevitable somehow. I think it's important to create spaces that people like to be in, that are humanistic.
I don't think many people would think I'm a designer. I behave in a different way. I'd get knocked down and cut to pieces if I went home and flounced about; this industry is known for the flounciness, but I've got my feet on the ground.
I did not have a big view of many designers until I got to high school.
Business owners should think of designers as architects, not decorators.
I'm suspicious of the idea of architects acting like business executives, brand managers, or purveyors of luxury goods.
Everyday people are not very good designers.
Every designer has to stand behind and believe in what they are creating.
People who run a ready-to-wear company are businessmen rather than production or design people.
