HAVE THE CHALLENGES OF 2020 CHANGED HOW YOU THINK ABOUT GRAPHIC DESIGN AND DESIGNERS?
Designers should stand out and speak for their communities using the tools they have to advocate for the best. We should also take responsibility and use our knowledge and skills to create things that benefit society. For example, I am designing and making facial masks for my families, friends, and those who have helped me.
