Personal Project, Design & Illustration
2021In 2021, as the world slowly crawled out of the depths of 2020, a few friends came to me with a simple idea: a text bot that reminded you call your friends. I joined on to help out with the design, but quickly became invested in building out the idea with them.
The idea grew into Hey, You: The World’s Smallest Social Network. The design is a tounge-in-cheek rebuke of the constant pings from our social media overlords.
We partnered with the Foundation for Social Connection to create a simple yet thoughtful set of prompts that not only reminded users to call their friends, but encouraged deeper connection.
