Dcifra Tu Cantón
Interactive civic education platform that helps Costa Ricans understand their cantons, municipalities, and local data before municipal elections.
The project needed to make civic information approachable for people who would never sit down to read a dense policy report.
We turned local government data into a lighter, more usable experience with quizzes, municipality explainers, and an idea hub for community proposals.
