We don't always get the kind of work we want, but we always have a choice of whether to do it with good grace or not.

Spiritual joy arises from purity of the heart and perseverance in prayer.

A successful solution to the client's design needs requires a collaboration of my skills, talents and knowledge with the client's information base, history in their industry and personality.

David Bowie told me my music sounds like tomorrow

If we had a terrorist attack, the way the people respond is going to determine whether that attack is just a tragedy or whether that attack becomes an all-out disaster.
