SafraSense
Satellite / ESG / React · Product Designer, Frontend Dev & Video Editor
Context
SafraSense is a platform integrated with the Sentinel-2 (Copernicus) satellite that triggers climate and financial protection for smallholder family farmers in Latin America. The project centralizes information, climate evidence, and access to agricultural insurance in a single interface, ensuring that family farming does not face weather extremes without assistance.
Challenge
Develop, encourage, and strengthen projects that support the lives of smallholder farmers.
Process
- 01Mapping the smallholder journey to treat farmers as active subjects, not just portfolio metrics.
- 02Analyzing SWI (Soil Water Index) and Sentinel-2 vegetation bands to monitor crop water stress.
- 03Designing a simple onboarding flow that pulls cadastral polygons directly from the rural registry (CAR).
- 04Creating rural-first UI accessibility: high contrast, large text sizes, and simple WhatsApp notifications.
- 05Structuring the technical audit flow to export standard A4 reports, reducing the need for manual adjusters.
