Ti Yan
Every card opens a different experience
Named after the Chinese word for experience, Ti Yan is a deck of 80 hand-drawn picture cards created to inspire reflection, storytelling, and meaningful sharing.
Each card is intentionally illustrated with a softer, more human feel, making it easier to connect with personally. Every image holds multiple metaphors — allowing different people to discover different meanings in the same card at the same time.
No two responses are ever quite the same. A single card can trigger memories, opinions, emotions, insights, and stories unique to each individual.
- Trigger reflection and sharing
- Spark stories and conversations
- Surface opinions and perspectives
- Synthesise learning and inspire commitments
- Build on one idea with another
Its possibilities are limited only by imagination.
