Quotes I believe that the best craftsmanship and design should be available to all people and that those designs should be provided by designers from all different walks of life. Luxury is different to many people, but it shouldn’t be based on only one class being able to determine what is luxury and what is not. That determination is personal. Ep. 24: Mimi Plange To focus on yourself. It’s not selfish, it’s necessary, because you can’t begin to improve the lives of others without improving yours first. When you focus on yourself, you don’t compare yourself to other people, you learn to understand that you are different, and that everyone’s path is different. Ep. 24: Mimi Plange My mind likes to wander a lot, and I can be talking to someone and bam! Some idea just pops up! I will usually just hold it until I can get to my sketchpad, and then I loosely draw some abstract image and write down a few notes so I remember what I was thinking. Ep. 24: Mimi Plange It’s especially important today because it’s so rare. If you don’t have anything new to bring to the table then why are you here? I think being authentic in design is important because when you a sharing your work with people, you are communicating with them, and telling them who you are, and giving them a glimpse into how your mind works. You are putting your stamp or mark out there, and if you want it to be lasting, it must be authentic. Ep. 24: Mimi Plange My favorite project has been setting out to create our brand and doing it. Being able to see it grow, change and evolve over the years has been amazing.
