    Participated in this social innovation hackathon, designing a social media campaign to call attention to the plight of Florida’s low-wage workers who work without the opportunity to earn paid sick days. Our work can be found at http://getwellfl.tumblr.com/, but be warned, we worked right up until the deadline so it's pretty rough!
