Been working on this in the past few months 😮‍💨 💓 Come thruuuu

Create the things you wish existed

Love the idea of making something “unnecessarily __________”

A question that people secretly think about before going to an event is "is this going to be a good use of my time?" and often that means "so who's going to be there?" 👀

Depending on the nature of the gathering, I've experimented with different ways of priming attendees' pre-event experience ie. sending out the guest list before hand, light inward prompts, thinking through ways of creating value before arriving.

For my recent happy hour that I hosted, I wanted to push myself to create something more playful & visual 👀

So I created this lil interactive artifact to share with attendees so they can get a feel for the room before getting there 🖼️ We gathered a group of creative professionals who are all multi-hyphenates and vvv interesting so I wanted to showcase them and help them connect the dots with each other.

In addition to making connections via commonalities, I thought it would be valuable to help folks identify a few people they def want to meet by starring them in a list and connect before hand via social media.

This all was to designed so that folks can walk in already feeling somewhat familiar with a few people in the room, so it feels less intimidating and awkward!!!
