For NYU's Center for Multicultural Education and Programs (CMEP), I designed a set of interactive name tags intended to foster connection and conversation at events. Each tag features three distinct sections: a primary space for one’s name, an area to indicate pronouns, and a separate box for participants to answer one of twelve conversation-starting questions.

Twelve different name tag variations were created, each featuring a unique question and color while maintaining a consistent layout. The interactive design encourages attendees to share their identities and experiences, promoting inclusive conversations and a sense of community.
