Background
Submission for UCI’s Impact 2022 Design-a-thon
Prompt: Design your own desktop or mobile application that advocates for either (1) social justice or (2) sustainability.
Team: Mia Mapula and Jessica Huang
Tools: Figma, GroupMe Poll
Timeline: 2 days
Award: Top 8 Finalist
My teammates and I decided to choose the social justice track. Two of us are native Houstonians, and we noticed that it’s been difficult to find out about nearby events for various social justice topics.
From research to low-fidelity prototypes to our final product, we definitely learned a lot during this 2-day period. This was our first design-a-thon, so we were extremely honored to be a top 8 finalist and present our design thinking process. See our slide deck and video demo below!
