Quarantine Cards

Spring 2020. Everyone was stuck inside and the world felt a little (a lot!?) unhinged. My friend & coworker, Rob Brookman, and I started asking the same question: in a moment of forced social distancing, how do you keep people from feeling socially detached?

Our answer was decidedly analog. We designed eight postcards split into two four-packs, one with a postal theme and one with more personal messaging, packaged them with stamps and got them out into the world. Rob and I split the copywriting and illustration between us and turned the whole thing around in under two weeks—which felt both impossible and completely necessary at the time.

It was a personal project, but it's one that still says something about how I think: when there's a real human problem, the solution doesn't have to be complicated. Sometimes it just has to show up in someone's mailbox.
