I had talked for years about doing a restaurant with Rocky Dudum, who’s been my friend since I first came to San Francisco.

The K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple, Stupid) principle was pounded into my head in school and I still follow it today in most of my designs. I know that my most successful efforts are the simplest.

Leon Theremin’s original designs are elegant, ingenious and effective. As electronics goes, the theremin is very simple. But there are so many subtleties hidden in the details of the design.

Baroque sculpture and interior design has a quality of creating an environment that seems organic because it’s full of curves and details, like a forest Picture Quote #1

Design, whether it’s on your body or in your home, is the same thing. It’s mixing different colors, different textures, and unexpected patterns - elements that you wouldn’t often put together in an interesting way Picture Quote #1
