^Reflection

Fun 1 week visual design challenge.

I wanted to challenge myself to keep up with the latest design and tech trends by creating a tool that people would love to use in their daily life.

Setting design constraints and defining the target user group helped me to design for a purpose. Taking advantage of existing resources such as ChatGPT and UI kits helped me through the design process in a more explorative and efficient way.
