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

I think that, in comparison, New Yorkers and Northerners are so guarded.

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.
