“My laboratory uses evolution to design new enzymes. No one really know...” — Frances Arnold Quote

“My laboratory uses evolution to design new enzymes. No one really knows how to design them - they are tremendously complicated. But we are learning how to use evolution to make new ones, just as nature does.”

“This innovation machine that's evolution, we can use it to do all sorts of interesting things.”

“I tried lots of things and never stopped learning.”

“I'm not a mother of children, but I'm a different type of mother where my approach to design is more in line with nature. It's less about dictating and more about editing and listening and allowing something to grow. So I nourish and let the material express what it wants to be.”

“Successful design is not the achievement of perfection but the minimization and accommodation of imperfection.”

“An image is not simply a trademark, a design, a slogan or an easily remembered picture. It is a studiously crafted personality profile of an individual, institution, corporation, product or service.”
