To kick off #Proximity20 Stories, we’re turning to Ko Zaw, who’s been with us since the very beginning. During his early days, Proximity was known as IDE, and working in the field looked quite different back then, but our mission with farmers stayed the same. #proximitydesigns

2 data scientists, 3 product designers, 3 agronomists, 3 field staff, 4 solution architects, and 5 communications specialists. That’s the diverse team working together as we move our new conversational-AI chatbot forward for Myanmar farmers. #conversationalai #proximitydesigns
This year marks a big milestone for us–Proximity Designs just turned 20 years old! Now we'll share this journey with you. With every new month of #Proximity20, we’ll highlight Proximity Stories from our team, bringing the special moments and perspectives developed along the way.
