Displaced Designer

Thanks to the many of you who replied with support and those of you who have posted about this and sent links our way… i have a bunch of email to comb through and it’s only been a few hours.

To the individual who anonymously commented with remarks questioning if we are truly “helping the disaster victims”, i offer you a bit of backstory:

After New York was attacked, and we dealt with the immediete loss of familly and friends, and we volunteered and donated, we opened up our studio, (which was much larger then), and allowed two small businesses (that supported families) to get back on their feet. We had something, they had nothing, it’s that simple…

So now, as it’s our turn to watch a diaster destroy the lives, posessions, and livelihood of thousands of individuals. We have donated, we have FedEx’d supplies, we have an empty desk and were going to try and help the same way, it’s that simple…

If you have read this far than you should get the jist of what we are doing here. Instead of just trying to help one person, we are turning to the rest of you in hopes that together we can help dozens (hopefully more) of our Design/Art/Illustration friends who need a place to regroup.

Nothing is too little — an empty desk, an unused conference table, a phone. We have no real idea if this offer or this site will make a difference but we’re going to try. Initially it is our hope that you (the design community) will open your doors to a worthy individual. If so, we need to know. Email us at offer@displaceddesigner.com and we will add you to the offer a desk page.

Additionally, if you want to help us with the operations of this site let us know. We are starting off by hand coding the lists and will swap things over to a more robust database system once this thing takes flight.

We are your biggest fans, help us help those who would help you.
