The simple exercise of flipping from brand and culture stories to using this as a guide has been a way for me to stay connected to the help required and the solutions offered.
Also, I get to see the incredible ingenuity of human beings, who are finding creative ways to cope, entertain, and solve problems in the middle of a crisis.
One observation- many of the initiatives needing help also need creative and design help- the pages are often elementary. .Most of you have immediate and instant access to the talent that can help.
