A year marked by physical distance during the pandemic has led to new challenges on how to remain socially connected. This design is inspired by our use of digital media to engage with our families and friends during this time of social isolation. From virtual hangouts and video chats to online fitness classes, working and home schooling to quiz nights and celebrations, developing a thriving social network has become more important than ever.
