For Our Family
Combining my UX design and facilitation experience with my love of tabletop games, I designed a collaborative storytelling card game about belonging and identity for children of immigrants and crowdfunded on Kickstarter.

As an independent, first-time publisher, my priority was getting the product made. However, I still prioritized paying my illustrators a fair rate, covering the costs of production and distribution, and having product availability post-campaign.
The experience
For Our Family helped facilitate a brave environment to explore their past, their “what ifs,” their culture all through a fictional lens. You learn the game by playing it. Each player takes a turn to draw a card and reads its prompt. This invites curiosity and encourages conversation between players. As each player answers their prompt, the setting, the characters, and their relationship builds in tandem.
