How are you helping your community during COVID-19?
So many of us have been affected by this worldwide epidemic in one way or another. The only way we are going to get through this is by showing empathy and coming together as a community. We are all human and it’s time to look after one another!
Q. So what am I doing from a personal and professional point of view?
Personal
From a personal point of view I have volunteered my services as a mentor to Amazing Design People List
We are helping designers find new jobs during COVID-19 by highlighting their profiles to hiring managers through the, Amazing Design People List
The design community continues to inspire each other and in times of uncertainty, we’re committed to stand together. Please help like and share this so it can reach people who’d need to see this most. Stay safe and be kind.
Professional
From a professional point of view I am part of the leadership team that created the ‘We may be far apart. But we're in this together.’ resource site for Nedbank.
By empowering ourselves with the right information, and sharing it with the people we care about, we can take the necessary steps to navigate these uncertain times together.
