A free public health tool for CA residents: Close

We often find ourselves overwhelmed by the level of news we’re shown around COVID-19, and it can be hard to pick out what is important, and what is nearby. A group of us Stanford and Berkeley students came together to build Close: a free tool for anyone in CA that provides clear, local updates on COVID-19 counts and news.

I created an online poster to help share Close with the community, and sought to evoke a feeling of security.
