UX for Good has been selected as the People’s Choice in this year’s IxDA Interaction Awards. It was an honor to work on the project. Mad props to the organizers, our local hosts, clients, teammates and friends. And a personal shout out to the support of the Purpose team and Marilia Bezerra in particular for the initial intro that connected me to this awesome project.

UX for Good New Orleans also just appeared on HLNTV.
