Humble Design Competition Brief
Competition Purpose
The cycle of homelessness and housing insecurity is a complicated issue that extends beyond just having a place to live. Humble Design recognizes the importance of providing support for people transitioning out of homelessness and into housing. Humble partners with housing organizations to identify families who are moving into new permanent housing and then outfits their new homes with gently used furniture, home furnishings, and essential items. It is far more than decorating a home – it helps to renew hope, restore dignity, and provide people with a fresh start and a step towards greater financial stability.
The purpose of Humble Design’s sticker/print competition is to:
1)Raise greater awareness regarding the homelessness cycle and the need for services that provides support for individuals, families, and veterans transitioning out of homelessness. Studies have shown that 48.7% of families return to homelessness within a year of being housed. In contrast, around 99% of Humble Design’s families stay housed for over a year, and 85% stay housed for over two years.
2) To build a platform to amplify the power of design and show how it can help rebuild identity, restore dignity, and build self-esteem through the creation of a personalized space.
3) To connect with the Seattle/Puget Sound community! Humble Design Seattle was founded in 2018, we are still new to Seattle. We want to get to know you!
The theme for Humble Design’s first sticker/print design competition is “Home”.
What turns a space into a home? What does home mean to you?
