  http://blogs.accion.org/fin-tech/app-promotes-personal-finance-colombia/My job was to create financial education content, generate the information architecture map, and sketch each screen (storyboards) of the first Financial Education App in the world, for vulnerable women and their families (tested in rural Colombia), called Colombia LISTA.I also created nudge messages sent to the mobile phones of the women that were registered in the "Iniciativa LISTA" program. This program encouraged savings and financial "better practices", and belonged to an education strategy co-designed with my colleagues at Fundación Capital (Ana Pantelic - Project Mananger and Juan Forero - Financial Inclusion Consultant).
