"I want everything we do to be beautiful. I don’t give a damn whether the client understands that that’s worth anything, or that the client thinks it’s worth anything, or whether it is worth anything. It’s worth it to me. It’s the way I want to live my life. I want to make beautiful things, even if nobody cares."Saul Bass, who died 16 years ago today.

Slides from my Codemash talk about design principles for developers. I don’t feel they stand alone very well (they’re supposed to support the speaking, after all), but, for what it’s worth, there they are. I’ll be giving the talk again in March at CodepaLOUsa.

"Advice to designers: ‘Learn how to code. I never did, but the next person who has my job will. It makes you a better designer if you understand how to talk to engineers and you actually have to think through how something works. It makes you think much more mechanically about the design, and it enables you to actually build something.’"

"I remember not too many years ago that designers lamented of not having a ‘seat at the table’. Well, folks, your time has come. Not only do you have a seat at the table…you’ve got a starring role. There is no better time to be a designer than right now."Josh Bokardo, “The Golden Age of Design in Startups” →
