I probably should explain something here to address certain concerns people have raised to me regarding this âoffice hoursâ project... (a thread) https://twitter.com/machinehuman/status/1250938896180891648
I have been offering my time to mentor students and people starting off their careers in Design for many years. I feel itâs an important aspect of being a working professional to be able to give something back to the community.
Not everyone does it and you shouldnât be obligated to do so, but itâs important to me and I do enjoy the conversations I have with everyone I meet.
However, in light of whatâs happening with regards to CV19 and the impact itâs having on us, many of the events where Iâve 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 âoffice hoursâ project.
It should go without saying that I donât 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 Iâm 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. Thanks!
