David Lewis - Writer

an Irish software engineer based in Paris, where I work on the document editor at Linear.

Personal Projects
Equality Posters / Posters for Progressives
Equality Posters helped people download, print and share posters supporting a Yes vote in Ireland’s 2015 marriage equality referendum. Posters for Progressives launched in 2017, carrying the idea into protests against Trump’s first administration.
Equality Bingo / Eurovision Bingo
Equality Bingo launched during Ireland’s 2015 marriage equality referendum: a fun way to take the sting out of predictable, hurtful arguments in the debates. Eurovision Bingo followed in 2016, a sillier version for Eurovision season.
Lawyers for Yes
Built in May 2015 for barristers, solicitors and law students campaigning for a Yes vote in Ireland’s marriage equality referendum. The site made their legal research, statements and videos easy to find and share.
Count Me Out
Launched after Ireland’s 2009 Ryan Report on institutional abuse, Count Me Out simplified the process of formally leaving the Catholic Church, whether in protest or for personal reasons. The project received extensive coverage in Ireland and internationally, including the New York Times, CNN, Reuters, the BBC and Le Monde. It won Best Social Media Campaign at the 2009 Irish Web Awards.
