In 2004, I started writing this blog as an art student as a way to document my global travel, showcase my portfolio, and promote upcoming exhibitions. Three years later, when my personal goals shifted toward social problem solving, I used this blog to document my experiences in refugee camp design and social research. The names changed many times, from Current Residence, to MyEarthPrint, but in 2010 it became The Humanitarian Space.
Since then I have had the fortune to write for over 1,000,000 readers. The blog has captured the interest of federal and city governments, politicians, think tanks, NGOs, students, professionals around the world. I have received hundreds of emails from readers and have had the opportunity to work on some of the most amazing projects in the world.
I am grateful. Thank you.
However, it is time to move on. If you read the last post, you will note that my motivation and goals have shifted. While I remain committed to utilizing diverse methods and interdisciplinary design toward reducing poverty and suffering in the world, it is time I now do this by other means. The strength of my career has been founded on a willingness to take on great risks and immerse myself into the problems. It was thrilling but is not personally sustainable.
Perhaps one day I will pick up where this blog left off. I have no intention to delete it. Perhaps I'll start a new one. Whatever happens, I'll post it here.
Thank you for all the reading, questions, and support over the years. And good luck to all of you in your own endeavors.
