    paper Building a tool to teach visual misinformation

    A digital quiz artifact addressing visual misinformation, built at Density Design before fact-checking labels existed on social media. The project mapped real debunked cases to identify how different manipulation types work, then designed an interaction that makes the mechanism clear: you make a judgment, you find out you were wrong, you see exactly why. The tool was later picked up by Tactical Tech and translated into 22 languages.
