“Morning” illustration (by Lauren Iida, hand-cut paper, 2014) from In My Village, a book created by The Antipodes Collective to help teach English to Cambodian youth: “In my village, the morning always comes. / It is bright and noisy . . .”
The Antipodes Collective (the non-profit I recently founded) is featured in ARCADE's current magazine issue "Empathy, Fire, and Spades: Design for Social Innovation." ARCADE is a Seattle-based non-profit that creates opportunities — in print, in the community and online — for sharing ideas about design, culture and the built environment. Below is an excerpt from our article entitled, "Turning a Page in Cambodia."

"The Antipodes Collective is the culmination of my love for Cambodia, my desire to contribute positively to the lives and prosperity of the people of Prasot village and my goal to collaborate with artists from around the world to create effective, quality arts-based curricula and learning materials."
