Projects

Designed the web app that analyzes and disseminates climate risk information based on collected and digitized data from the Province of Oriental Mindoro. This app assists the local government in making data-driven decisions and policies to enhance the adaptive capacities of local communities in response to climate change impacts.

Aside from creating the user interface of the tool, I also designed illustrations to explain how we defined and determined risk.
