In Their Words
“I spend forever just figuring out what to do before my computer, because after 15 years of building things it's really easy to open my computer and start doing stuff.”
“I have no allegiances to any of these products or companies at this point. It's whoever's just going to do a good job at the task.”
“Everything that I do is built from my lens, as if I'm the audience.”
