pilotis project
product design ✦ service design ✦ social & community services
Projeto Pilotis was an online service for communities to drive offline connection by sharing items and learning together to create a more caring community of neighbours.
We built an online service to connect neighbours and leverage a safer and healthier city.
Through low-fidelity prototyping we understood that the initial framing of the problem wasn’t really accurate and that gave us the opportunity to pivot the service and work to deliver communities' needs around connecting to other people and learning together.
✦ In 2015, over 2.000 people joined Pilotis to become part of the sharing community ✦
