Takeaways

My first designathon was fast-paced, intense, and incredibly fun. Working under tight deadlines pushed me to:

Make quick, thoughtful design decisions while staying flexible

Think critically and problem-solve under pressure

Create with intention, making sure the bold colors and unique graphics weren’t just for looks but actually energized and motivated users

Turn ideas into something real in a fast-moving, collaborative environment

This experience gave me a new appreciation for working under pressure and showed me how much I love tackling challenges head-on.

Next Steps

This project gave me a crash course in rapid design and problem-solving under pressure.

Moving forward, I want to:

  • Refine the app’s user flow based on deeper research and testing

  • Explore motion design to make interactions feel more engaging

  • Take on more design challenges, especially in fast-paced environments where creativity and strategy come together
