DemocracyLab Hackathon: NorthWest Fruit (Orchard and Ecological Research Center)



DemocracyLab Hackathon

NorthWest Fruit (Orchard and Ecological Research Center)


 As a new UX designer, I had the incredible opportunity to participate in the DemocracyLab Hackathon, focusing on the NorthWest Fruit project—a collaborative effort involving an Orchard and Ecological Research Center. Throughout this experience, I was able to see how the agile progress is done. I was moving to New Jersey around this time and I wasn't able to finish through with the project but.

Being so new to UX, I was happy that I got this opportunity to help out with ideas and concepts. I immersed myself in designing user experiences that aimed to enhance the interaction between visitors, researchers, and the fruit orchard environment. It was an exhilarating experience to contribute my skills to a project that promotes sustainability, education, and the preservation of natural resources, all while gaining valuable insights and honing my UX design abilities.

In a designathon, time is of the essence, which means quick decision-making and effective communication are crucial. I engaged in intense brainstorming sessions and ideation exercises to generate innovative concepts and solutions. The ability to think on my feet, adapt to changing circumstances, and collaborate efficiently allows us to push the boundaries of what's possible within the given time constraints. I was also working with other designers in other time zones. This was slightly challenging. I had to do this with a previous designathon as well. Our team chose the FemTech Track. We had to d esign and build fem tech solutions that help promote gender equity, improve women's health and well-being, and address the gender gap in technology. https://www.canva.com/design/DAFiP9uHTJE/NPZMVpstYEnMnha7tx...

Catalyst Designathon 2023

UI/UX Designathon Catalyst 2023 Forge Boston University Catalyst is a virtual, UI/UX designation that aims to challenge participants to explore how design, innovation, and community interact. Across 3 days , my team collaborated to solve a design challenge and build a prototype of an app or a website that addresses modern-day problems.  What is the problem the solution addresses: When traveling, it's difficult to be connected to your surroundings and try new things because little you know/are aware of. There's a disconnect between travelers and the new places they go to, because of their lack of information. Any information is a drag to access, and that time is better off experiencing new things. Also, it's hard to know what they are even able to experience without any information, so that is the problem that we are facings. Why did we pick this solution: This solution is an easy way to have concise information at the palm of your hands and also allows for new experienc...
