I probably should explain something here to address certain concerns people have raised to me regarding this “office hours” project... (a thread) https://twitter.com/machinehuman/status/1250938896180891648">https://twitter.com/machinehu...

I have been offering my time to mentor students and people starting off their careers in Design for many years. I feel it’s an important aspect of being a working professional to be able to give something back to the community.

Not everyone does it and you shouldn’t be obligated to do so, but it’s important to me and I do enjoy the conversations I have with everyone I meet.

However, in light of what’s happening with regards to CV19 and the impact it’s having on us, many of the events where I’ve offered mentorship are no longer taking place.

I had been exploring different ways to provide this virtually (even prior to CV19) but given the number of people reaching out to me and the current stay-at-home orders, it seemed like the right time to launch a kind of virtual event like this “office hours” project.

It should go without saying that I don’t intend to cancel my work obligations to provide my time to people.

I apologize if that has raised some concerns and in fact, if this does start consuming more time than I’m comfortable with providing, I will find a way to limit it or cease activities altogether. But we can address that when it comes to it.
