OVERVIEW

Making civic engagement more accessible

Driven by the belief that understanding government shouldn’t require cable news, I partnered with Scott at Objective Apps to co-lead the next phase of MyCongress. I owned product design and experience, leading a ground-up redesign that expanded the app beyond its original iPad-only, education-focused roots and set the stage for a broader audience and long-term growth.

How it works

Users begin by easily finding their local representatives, either manually or via geo-location. Once they have identified a representative, they can explore the bills they have sponsored, the committees they serve on, and their voting records. Additionally, users can view the same information for any other representative.

REPRESENTATIVES

Using an open source government API we were able to display nearly all congressional activity from voting to committee involvement.
