PROBLEM
Many students struggle to continue their education due to limited access to financial support.
Existing donation platforms often lack clear structure and emotional engagement, making it difficult for students to share their stories and for donors to understand real impact.
SOLUTION
Understanding User Needs
Explored the problem space through brainstorming and user journey mapping to align the platform with the emotional and functional needs of both students and donors.
Appealing and User-Friendly Interface
Designed a friendly and approachable visual language to build trust, encourage empathy, and make the donation experience feel simple and engaging.
Clear and Structured User Flows
Created intuitive user flows that guide users seamlessly from discovering stories to taking action, contributing to a Top 10 nomination at the Wolfram Award.
REFLECTION
Working under a tight timeline during the hackathon sharpened my decision-making and collaboration skills, while reinforcing the importance of empathy-driven design.
