7 in 7 Seven things I’ve learned in seven years
designing... I’m learning
Don’t Give Up 1
“Perseverance isn't always just a strong will…it's also a strong
won't.”
“Slow and Steady”
Out-perfect. Out-work.
Be A Professional 2
“It's your responsibility to demonstrate your competence and professionalism to
your clients before you ever start designing for them. Otherwise you'll seldom be allowed to give them your best work.” — Andy Rutledge
Perfect your cra!t. Be honest, trustworthy, dependable. Be responsible. Do
your best. Demand respect.
Solve Real Problems 3
We are problem solvers. We design for people.
Find a Problem. Design a Solution.
“People who really want to make a di!ference in the
world aren't determined to revolutionize the world all at once; they're satis!ied with small changes.” — Beth Clark
“They don't do anything to call attention to themselves, they
simply pay attention to the everyday needs of others…” — Beth Clark
DO.
Study Outside Your Sphere 4
When was the last time you studied something outside of
the web?
“He approaches every problem with a willingness to do painstaking
study and research and to perform exhaustive experimentation. He is equipped to work intelligently with the engineer, the architect, the physicist, the interior decorator, the colorist, and the doctor.” — Henry Dreyfuss
“He must be part engineer, part businessman, part salesman, part
public-relations man, artist, and anything else his client needs...” — Henry Dreyfuss
Psychology Architecture Engineering Industrial Design Art Civil Planning

Write 5
I have nothing to say. First Misconception:
Everything I have to say has already been said. Second
Misconception:
Design, Not Decorate 6
Design is not veneer.
Simplify 7
The problem with “noise” is it deadens your sense of
hearing. When the noise is deafening, I become deaf to more important things.
“Never too much...hardly enough” — Frederick Law Olmstead
