WORDS

"Drawing is really a language to me--my first language. As a child, I learned to draw around the same time I was learning to write. In terms of thinking, it's as much a form of expression to me as speaking or writing. Sketching allows me to organize my thoughts, the clearer my thoughts, the simpler the sketches become."

Excerpted from Sketchbook: Conceptual Drawings from the World's Most Influential Designers.
