The work needs to get out of your head and on to the table, and it needs to be done from the heart.
Paula Scher
Image
The job of the designer is to make things understandable, usable, accessible, enjoyable... important to a public, that involves the public.
Paula Scher
Image
Creativity has to do with what came before you immediately, not what came before you a long time ago.
Paula Scher
Image
We become different people and we adapt to our environments, but that doesn't have anything to do with being creative.
Paula Scher
Image
Having no purpose is the function of art, so somebody else can look at it and ask a question. Design is different - you're supposed to understand what's going on. You can be delighted by it, intrigued by it, but you're supposed to know it's a hot dog stand.

Marketing is not inherently bad. That's just dumb. That's said by somebody that isn't doing enough work.
Paula Scher
Image
My fear is that when you become an expert in anything then the expectation somehow makes you ordinary, in a way, because you become the firm that does that, or you become the person that does that. You really need to change the form to make the discovery.
Paula Scher
Image
We don't do everything the same way we always did it. We just don't.

Image
Stefan Sagmeister says that nobody innovates past forty-five, but I think he's wrong. I want to keep doing it.
Paula Scher
Image
Identities are the beginning of everything. They are how something is recognized and understood. What could be better than that?
Paula Scher
Image
I do different things. I'm a designer. I'm a painter.
Paula Scher
Image
I don't want being a woman to be a factor, or being short to bea factor, or being Jewish to be a factor, or anything that makes you outside some design normthat I don't understand anyway. That makes me nervous.
Paula Scher
Image
I get to work on things I've never done before and I get better at it, and I can do things that are innovative. Which I've done in my fifties, and want to continue to do through my sixties.
Paula Scher
Image
It could be that going to work is better than being home. But you should never think of days as the weekend. It should all be the same, it should all be stuff you want to do. And when it isn't then you have to change it, and you have to think about how you change it.
Paula Scher
Image
If I get up every day with the optimism that I have the capacity for growth, then that’s success for me.
Paula Scher
Image
All the little risks I took were sort of like all the apartments I had moved into: I was finding the right spot.
Paula Scher
Image
I know that in my own work I'm able to do all kinds of things I never thought I'd be able to do.
Paula Scher
Image
I think that the notion of being creative is the notion that, inwardly, you assume that many things are possible. And that you can try these things and that something will happen.
Paula Scher
Image
As a painter I make up projects for myself to express myself. And there's no client, there's no direction.
Paula Scher
Image
I always drew. I was, you know, the school artist. I was the person who made the posters for the prom. That's who I was.
