That was always my frustration with so many of these shows, because design is not an ambush... it's a relationship. You have to know how people move and live and work to be able to design for them. ↗

Design can have such a positive impact on the way people live and on their relationships and moods. ↗

I'm a designer, I love it, and I haven't worked this hard to do bad work. ↗

But instead of that stuff you get relationships with people and neighbors that you would never get in a city. People in small towns are a lot more open. ↗

I think we typically, as Northerners, stereotype what the South is in so many negative ways. We kind of forget all the beautiful things that they contribute to make this country a country. ↗

I'm opening a store at the end of the month in the New York meatpacking district. I'm launching a line of bedding this summer, and I am writing a book that will be out next January. ↗

I'm so used to talk-show hosts just giving you a sound bite and not really being interested. ↗
