Case Study: “Humanize Voices”
The "Humanize Voices" Employee Engagement Program @Zeta Headquarters in Manhattan, NY focused on empowering employees and authentically connecting them to each other.
“The program provided insight into who we each are and why we are the way we are — leaving me with a sense of strength and a recognition of how strong Zeta employees are.”
“Seeing that everyone comes from different backgrounds, yet the themes between the stories were consistent, left me with a feeling of togetherness.”
“The program helped me feel deeply connected to the Zeta community and it made me feel special. I felt genuinely heard and understood by my colleagues through “Humanize Voices”. Feeling valued and supported encouraged me to contribute more openly in team discussions as well.
Being vulnerable in this way was a significant step outside my comfort zone. Fear of judgment had always held me back. By participating in “Humanize Voices”, I confronted that fear and discovered a strength I didn’t know I possessed.”

"Glimmers" by Lexi Yoo
“For the past few years, I've worked in a tech space similar to Zeta, where despite the isolation of the industry, moments of connection and joy, referred to as "glimmers," have been significant.
In this project, I aim to visualize these moments of shared excitement and humanity, from quirky office moments to personal milestones outside work.
I created tarot-esque cards to highlight the unique qualities of individuals, particularly focusing on women in tech, a group significantly underrepresented in leadership roles.
Through this project, I hope to honor the women who've mentored me, while encouraging others to embrace and share their full, multifaceted lives both in and outside of work.”

"Connection" by Yan Yan
“As humans, the relationships we form with other people are vital to our mental and emotional well-being and even our survival.
Humans have an inherent desire to be close to other people and technologies have linked us in ways that were unimaginable 10-20 years ago.”

"Outstanding" by Chris Smith
“Stand out by standing up.
If you truly want to find yourself, lose yourself in the act of serving others.
Inspired by all of the remarkable experiences shared, this creation highlights our positions (where we stand) and our extraordinary distinctions (how we stand out).
We are all uniquely brilliant in our own way, but together we share the ability to spread light and love to one another.
Embrace this moment to reflect: How do you illuminate the world with your light?”

"What's Next" by Brendan Forester
"What’s Next" explores four possible futures:
"Continued Growth," focusing on progress in government, economy, and education.
"Collapse," marked by crises like disasters or war.
"Discipline," emphasizing personal growth, values, and community.
"Transformation," driven by technological advancements.
The piece suggests that all these futures are likely to unfold; while encouraging introspection on personal anxieties about the future and how our perspectives shape what we anticipate.
