  • Took part in the investigative and ideation process to develop a platform to engage citizens in the democratic process, launched in May 2015. The challenge was create a social network alternative for constructive debate about politics with follow-up material to pressure governments. After the process, 5 reports were generated with the most relevant contributions. In 2016, the platform was funded by the Google Social Impact Challenge and became the app "Mudamos".
  • Led the design team working with the Ministry of Culture in Brazil, to develop a system for visualization and validation of centres of culture nationwide. It incorporated existing open software and adapted its user experience to a more interactive and easily approachable website, with user profiling that went from urban citizens to members of indigenous tribes with almost no previous contact to technology. The system is still in use with about 2,8k centres in the database.
  • Customized a data visualization system for the public health system in Ceará state. The data consists of quantitative variants, such as number of doctors, beds and nurses; and also qualitative variants, such as the satisfaction of the population, obtained through an extensive phone call research conducted by the government. All this information was disposed in simple tables and should be organized in a easy way to be seen for the government personnel responsible for the health system optimization and also for the population interested in knowing what’s the evaluation and statistics of their public hospitals.
