The "36 questions that lead to love" is a wildly popular set of questions printed in the New York Times nearly a decade ago. The questions are designed to help individuals develop deeper emotional connections with others. The current pandemic hit home the idea that life is short and a trend called honesty bombing had people quickly hoping to figure out if they were compatible with new acquaintances.

PROBLEM

 

Answering the 36 questions is difficult for introverts who are uncomfortable discussing personal and intimate details about themselves. 

​

 

​RESULT

​

Together with a friend, I wrote funny and thought provoking questions that even introverts would feel comfortable answering.

​

Hundreds of questions were rated on a scale of one to five by a diverse group of friends, family and colleagues. I selected the top 50 questions, based on the ratings. The questions were printed on small cards and packaged in a thoughtfully designed box. The resulting STAY deck is convenient for carrying anywhere and makes a great gift.

​

I designed and built a website to showcase and sell the STAY decks.
