It is certainly an extraordinary time to be alive right now, and to be a designer. It feels to me that now is a time to contribute whatever we can to creating a better world, to designing healthier social, economic and political systems, to “be the change” we would like to see in the world. Design plays an important role in this. I am not sure how HotHouse fits in to this but I know that it does, we all do. As a human, and as a designer, I will find ways to open up, evolve, and work to create a more healthy, just, and compassionate culture. This is one reason I have chosen to pursue my Masters in Graphic Design and Visual Communication (at Savannah College of Art & Design). I started the eLearning program part-time in March as my family joined the rest of the country in sheltering-in-place. HotHouse was an online business already, so we were able to stay open to assist clients while homeschooling the kiddos and plunging into online grad school. Here’s to getting creative, winging it, and following your heart!
