New Zealand Sign language is one of the countries 3 official languages, yet for the estimated 400,000 people who identify as deaf or hard of hearing, communicating with others can be difficult. As a communication designer, I wanted to help change this experience. I created Hands On to break down the often intimidating cultural barriers and give players the opportunity to engage in a comfortable, playful environment, allowing confidence and skills to build. Hands-On is a fun, playful, interactive table-top card game that aims to teach young adults common words and phrases of New Zealand Sign language from the comfort of their own homes. The game aims to act as an accessible first step to learning NZSL and engaging with the deaf communities of Aotearoa.
