make (this) better: serve
what is service, and how do we get people excited about it? that’s where we started. where we’re at today is a focus on the idea of making our communities better by doing whatever it is we as people do. as designers and visual storytellers we’re part of a movement of artists, writers and creative culture makers who have set out to use our work to help build a better world. we designed a project around this idea and put it out there in hopes of getting people excited about service and making things better.
whatever (this) is, well that’s up to you, the visitor. in a general sense, everywhere we look — our schools, our health, our workers, our country, our planet — we are in need of serious improvement. yet, by volunteering our time, talents and energy people are making a difference every single day. it’s that special d.i.y. attitude in our local communities that has profound impact.
on this site we’ve come a long way. we’ve commented, critiqued, inspired, motivated, and celebrated. we’ve walked that thin line between cynicism and hope, anger and action. we are now asserting ourselves on the side of ideas over intolerance, building rather than belittling, love over hatred, “we’re all in the same boat” instead of “you’re on your own, this is my boat.” there’s just too much to be done if we want to get to a vibrant and robust society based on those democratic principles of freedom and equality FOR EVERYONE.
we’ve met a lot of great people since we started this site and look forward to more projects that create hope, change and progress. in the spirit of optimism, service and working together, onward! -jk-
