It's so important to take ourselves out of our box and to start testing theories, especially in situations that we're not used to.

Sometimes, you really need to go off the grid.

If you find pieces of wonderful things, put them close to you, so they can give you ideas, so they can start feeding you in every moment in your workspace.

You need to carve out time to think. I schedule an hour a day, turn off the phone, put your computer on airplane mode, and just be curious. What can you wonder about?

Curiosity is a muscle.

Curiosity is also about ideation, investigation, even if it means scrolling through Facebook at 4 am.

The idea that these higher order functions grow out of us as emotions, as feelings, is really sort of a beautiful thing. That curiosity could be as emotive as exhuberance or joy.

Because anxiety feeds off of embarrassment and guilt and shame, and if you treat it like this deep dark secret, you're gonna forever live in this darkness.

Anxiety has taught me a very, very hard lesson: that if you don't design the life you want, the world will do it for you.

My job is compassion.

The art, what we create... it is what tells the story of our world. So we as keepers we have to be very guarded. Because it is our voice. And they cannot silence your voice.

We have to carry the story. We are the artists. We are the ones who put it on canvas. We are the ones who put it in prose. We are the ones that danced our sorrows. We danced our happiness.

I know in design we talk a lot about speck work and free work. I think this is the time to work for free, to spend our time instead of writing that think piece on Medium about why we're pissed off about Dropbox's rebrand.

At the end of the day, design is about solving problems and it's about solving the right problems.

You need to trust the people that you work with.

If you're sitting in a war room covered in Post-its and pictures and things like that, get up and walk out. . . . Get lost in nature. I know it sounds crazy but it works.

You have to understand how to relate to your audience, what their struggles or their successes are. And if you can't relate or if you don't care it's not the right project for you.

If you have customer support in your organization, become really good friends with them. They have all the answers.

We have to passionately care about the work we're doing. Don't take a job if you don't care about the project.

By the way, hosting is better than speaking.

Se dice que exceso de pasado es depresión, el exceso de presente es estrés, y el exceso de futuro ansiedad.

Anxiety means to worry excessively, to worry more than the situation warrants.

From a clinical standpoint, we learn that anxiety and depression come from the same part of the brain. They can be expressed similarly or at the same time … anxiety and depression often occur together.
