Design can seem so impersonal and I've read that you want to be able to touch someone's life. Do you think it is possible and have there been any times where someone has told you so?
Yes, I do think it's possible, and I do think it's very hard. The only instance where I knew I touched someone's heart for sure was when my friend Reini came to New York from Vienna and was afraid that none of the sophisticated NY women would talk to him and he'd wind up very lonely. We printed a poster with his photo and the headline: "Dear girls, please be nice to Reini" and plastered it all over the Lower East Side. He was touched. And got a girlfriend.
