digital · 2026-04-17

Tubik design agency partnered with Zealous to develop an interactive web project titled "Decriminalize Poverty in Tennessee," transforming a Vera Institute of Justice report into a digital archive. This initiative features over 500 voices of individuals affected by poverty-related criminalization in Tennessee, supported by Free Hearts, an organization led by formerly incarcerated women. The website employs scrolling effects like parallax to create an engaging user experience that guides visitors through narratives about poverty's impact. Designed as a campaign hub, it provides practical steps and resources for public involvement. Tubik's web design expertise balances aesthetics with functionality to foster empathy and understanding. The project serves as a platform to amplify affected voices and advocate for social change through immersive storytelling and compelling visuals.
