What Designers Had to Say in 2017

From smartphones to sneakers to motorcycles, designers were hard at work building the latest and greatest products during 2017. We’ve rounded up our favorite interviews from the past year with both up-and-coming and already prominent designers. If you’re looking for inspirational quotes to start your new year off right, this is the place:
