“It's been inspiring to see the design community mobilize the way it has--whether through rapid response initiatives for frontline workers or the proliferation of platforms and formats for staying engaged.
For many, however, this is simply a time for quiet reflection.
And I find hope in that silence, knowing that many designers are patiently contemplating their role, as they always have, in reimagining a world that sorely needs it.
When the immediate crisis has abated, we will only have even larger ones to confront. We will need to make change, rather than have it forced upon us.”
