Everything is design, and everyone is a designer.
Create, create, always, constantly.
Shape the idea.
No matter if it is a plant, a dinner, a chair, or a church window.
When you create something, you are doing the most wonderful action.
You are transcending yourself and entering a new, unknown world
while leaving the importance of yourself behind.
After that, it's only the new project, the challenge and the solution that really matters.
