Zitat des Tages von Alexa Hirschfeld:
We basically built a pricing model that surgically identified what people wanted to pay us for and what they didn't want to pay us for. One of the things we figured out early on was that we could create value for people by creating a product that allowed them to design something that they couldn't design without us.
This work thing really has a specific purpose for me, which is to be an independent human being who doesn't rely on a guy or a family to be able to support myself. It's not about showing somebody that I'm successful. It's about having a wider breadth of option.
There are challenging days - but I'd tell people they should really do what they are interested in and not think about their gender.
I never knew what my role in art was, because I was such a deep appreciator and such a passionate appreciator. But every time I would try to sit down and be an illustrator or painter, it was just not my best use.
I have been able to enjoy the strides that others have made before me. I don't want to scoff at the idea that there was sexism, but I don't wake up in the morning and think, 'I am a woman in tech.' I just go to work, and my work is in technology.
The biggest challenge is to stay focused. It's to have the discipline when there are so many competing things.
Seeing what you want from life from the inside out, rather than from the outside in, is the most important thing.
Anybody that's intimidated by my success probably isn't the right person for me.
The physical world is not going away, just items take on different meaning. Paper takes on this archival, very important meaning now that it's not the only way to communicate something.
People might say paper is dead or dying, but actually, it's not at all. It's just more rarified. The choice to send paper has more meaning because of the fact that you don't have to.
We don't want to be a design line. Ultimately, we want to be a platform that houses many design aesthetics.
