Quote of Note | Mark Parker

“I think designers are often undervalued and underappreciated. I guess you could argue that’s okay because there’s some merit to the idea that the best design is invisible design. At Nike specifically, we try to keep it simple. It’s important to avoid any ancillary noise that doesn’t add to the design. Basically, get rid of the clutter—nothing gratuitous. I think overdesigning comes from a lack of editing. The strongest, most compelling, and most useful things in life are irreducible—love, truth, faith, honor.
