Dr. Seuss made a point of not beginning a story with a moral in mind. He was not against writing about issues, however. He stated that “there’s an inherent moral in every story”.

“Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple.” - Dr. Seuss

Great design relies on passion. We believe in designing from our hearts, not our heads. We design with the hope of impacting others whether it be people worldwide or just a single person because in the words of Dr. Seuss, "a person's a person, no matter how small!“

My hope is that while working as a designer, my work is always my passion. I hope to always look forward to doing my job and to know that there is no other way I would rather be spending my days. Loving my job and using it to help people everywhere are essentially the things that I want throughout my future as a designer.

I believe that design truly is in everything. I want to design in order to make more people aware of this and urge them to question standards and precedents. I hope this will lead to more aware and sustainable design.

To me, designing is about creating something that is personal to you or whoever you are designing for. It is about making small changes that will have big impacts. I design from my heart, not my head.

Design with your heart, but also with a purpose. Leave your mind open to the world around you; a limited viewpoint limits your impact. Use design to create a better world for someone, even if it is just one someone.

"Writing simply means no dependent clauses, no dangling things, no flashbacks, and keeping the subject near the predicate. We throw in as many fresh words we can get away with. Simple, short sentences don't always work. You have to do tricks with pacing, alternate long sentences with short, to keep it vital and alive.... Virtually every page is a cliffhanger--you've got to force them to turn it." Dr. Seuss

"because designers think about their work in a specific way, this affects how design appears and functions in the world“ -Louis Bucciarelli, “Designing Engineers” (p. 71)

“What design designs are the relations between things and persons and things and nature. Nonethical design reduces these to commodity relation” --Clive Dilnot, “Ethics in Design” pg.183

“The ultimate answer to the dilemma is not for designers to become as gods but for the design process to become more public so that everyone who is affected by design decisions can foresee what can be done and can influence the choices that are made.” -John Chris Jones, “What is Designing?” pg. 79

of Geisel's books point a moral, though he insists he never starts with one. 'Kids,' he says,

'can see a moral coming a mile off and they gag at it. But there's an inherent moral in any

story.' “
