In order to really thrive and do well within in this context of change… we’ve got to be able to navigate an uncertain path.

"...I really felt that there was this significant part of my life when I really surrendered. I said, 'God, would you just put my life back together. I just want to serve you and I just want to honor you with how I live my life.' And there was this hope that was just instilled in me and I carried that into the concept for these bags."

"A master in the art of living draws no sharp distinction between his work and his play; his labor and his leisure; his mind and his body; his education and his recreation. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence through whatever he is doing, and leaves others to determine whether he is working or playing. To himself, he always appears to be doing botth." –L.P. Jacks

Design your life in a way that allows you to serve others.

There were a lot of bad ideas in this project... But it turned out really nice.

Beauty will actually come out of a rigorous study of analyzing and beginning to understand how that particular product and how that building performs.

In many architects minds, our paintbrush is the light.

Ugly is subjective.

If you give, you will really live.

The only thing that holds us back is us.

Don't expect things to be easy and stop living in fear and being afraid to make mistakes and make better choices. Your dreams bring meaning to your life and they are worth the pain and they are worth fighting for.

We have to become men and women of extraordinary impact. Men and women who aren't afraid to have bigger dreams, bolder dreams, and a vision for the future. Stop making excuses with the word impossible. Impossible is nothing. It's a dare.

Children need to know how much you care before they care how much you know. If they don't see the action, it doesn't carry a lot of meaning

By first grade, the map has been drawn. The lines can be changed and manipulated but the map is there. What we are doing with children matters. What we are doing with young children especially matters.

The things you do mean more than the things you say. The actions are the message with children.

We influence on color, and in fact it creates everything that surrounds us, because we recognize 90% of the world by sight

Being human is a really messy thing.

It’s easy as creators to make style mean too much.

Ugly is a naked truth. It is what you do not want to hear or see, but it's necessary. It creates controversy, challenges, and often time, raises questions. Ugly is an idea, an event, an emotion, among many other things. In my world, it's an inspiration.

Why are we looking at natural systems? It's a very simple rationale - what ever took the longest to create, needs most attention.

The region of Bangalore is known for its lakes - folklore has it that were 1008 lakes, which are connected - they are not simply lakes that you count, but that form part of a specific system.

Typography is very subliminal. When we’re reading, we read the content; and it’s actually difficult to see the typography itself, because you focus so much on the content.

Bangalore happens TO you - you just sit and the city constantly works itself around you to welcome you in. But if you drive through it, it shuts its doors.

The only way to really see Bangalore is to approach it on your feet.

Take more chances, make more art, and launch more often.
