“'Design Star' was incredible, and I didn't think it could get any better, and then 'Color Splash' happened.”

“Technology is making design more exciting, with color, wallpaper, textures, fabrics that could never have been created without the technology.”

“The aim of being a good designer is to have an influence. If you design furniture or lifestyle, you should influence the way people evolve globally. It's good to have an influence.”

“Building design isn't trendy.”

“We started Airbnb because, like many across the U.S. and in New York, we were struggling to pay our rent and decided to open up our living room to fellow artists coming to town for a design conference. Sharing our apartment allowed us to stay in our home and start our company.”
