At some point in adulthood, something just clicks — you start paying more attention to nature. For me, it was birds 🦉

For the #FlowstepChallenge, I created Birdly (naming is hard, okay? 🐦) — a bird recognition app that turns every discovery into a collectable illustrated sticker. Users can identify birds by photo or sound, build personal collections, unlock achievements, explore nearby bird hotspots, and connect with a community of bird explorers.

For the design process, I followed my usual design workflow, starting with the product vision, user flows, and a moodboard, but decided to skip wireframes and design directly in Flowstep. I quickly learned that the best results came from working screen by screen, refining prompts, and creating a design guidelines file to keep the UI consistent. 

I also experimented with different Flowstep features, which helped me overcome creative blocks and explore new directions.  Flowstep helped me iterate quickly, explore different directions, and turn an idea into a complete interactive prototype. 

I'm really happy with the final result and learned a lot along the way.  Thanks to @Flowstep and @Contra HQ for organising the challenge! 🔥
