Stateside's conversation with Michael Brennan
Filling out applications for government assistance programs, like Medicaid or food stamps, can be a lengthy and confusing process.
In Michigan, it used to involve filling out a 42-page form that, among other highly-specific questions, asked applicants to give the exact dates their children were conceived.
But thanks to the work of Michael Brennan and his team at the Detroit design firm Civilla, the application has gotten a user-friendly overhaul.
