We’re thrilled to present our next speaker profile for our upcoming panel, Creative Diaries: Why You Should be Blogging, on Thursday, February 16.

Tumblr is known as one of the easiest platforms you can use to blog. In the last year, Tumblr created a “spotlight” page where they highlight some of the outstanding Tumblr blogs in certain categories. It was there in the “Art Spotlight” that we found Hui Min Lee and his captivating blog: humanly.tumblr.com.
What is your current position?
I am a graphic designer at Anti/Anti and a student of School of Visual Arts in the Masters in Branding program.
What inspired you to start blogging?
It’s always been a pleasure of mine to collect beautiful images. I used to collect them in my desktop or in a folder called “images” or “inspiration.” Then I saw some friends blogging via tumblr. It seemed really simple to use and easy to go back and look for images by tags. I also really like the fact that I was sharing something with the unknown public. I always liked to share things with people .
What’s one of the coolest things that’s happened to you as a result of your blog?
I guess the coolest physical thing to happen so far is NY Creative Interns inviting me to be a panelist.

Do you use any tools that make blogging easier for you?
I reference other blogs, big or small, to find whats out there. I often web-surf for hours to look for an artist that I haven’t noticed or for new works from artist that I’ve known. I mostly find my posts via online unless they are images created by me.
What aspect of our event are you looking forward to the most?
I am interested to know what people think about personal blogging and I’m looking forward to the interaction and talk that I will be engaged in as a panelist.
