Storytelling: Challenge 1 — Courage
Feeling unprepared for the industry is something I think a lot of us quietly carry.
Challenge 1's theme was Courage, and our team leaned into that by exploring our teammate's struggle of feeling underskilled for the industry — something I personally related to as well. We researched, synthesized real insights, and landed on a clear goal: an iOS app that connects users with experts and peers in one place, designed to help people navigate that exact feeling.
Along the way, we picked up SwiftUI basics and Design Fundamentals, shaping a final result grounded in both deep research and solid design principles.
