Introducing PUNCH IT! 🎉 I'm so excited to share my final submission to the #ConfigMakeathon !! The prompt was to create something that improves your life, community or world. As an early career designer heading to Config next week, what I needed to improve was my networking anxiety 😅 So I built PUNCH IT! A digital business card that rewards networking. When someone opens it, they get your contact info, portfolio, and LinkedIn. Then they stamp it...anonymously, or with their own info for a future coffee chat. Every stamp represents a real person you connected with. If you want to be competitive, you can also collect cards from other people and add them to your collection (which is ranked based on number of punches 🫢) The best part is that the app itself is the icebreaker. Asking someone to punch your card is a reason to talk. It reframes networking from something you have to survive into something that actually feels like progress. I started with sketches, built it out in Figma Make with a Supabase backend, and went through 126 versions before landing on the final version. All in time for Config 2026, my first ever design conference!

this is so smart!

Hi there, amazing people! Meet "KibbleKit" - a mobile app that helps pet owners track nutrition, decode food labels, and monitor health changes — all in one place. Have you ever met an exhausted pet owner, trying to figure out what's best for their pet, but ending up in an endless research loop? Taking advices from strangers, trying to find the perfect food brand that their pet will like, never remembering when the vaccine is due, when did they take the blood test? Or did they ever? Maybe wondering how to keep track of pet's health issues or weight changes? Well, no more guessing 💕 One of my favorite projects so far. As a pet owner myself I could really feel the pain, beyond the designer's empathy and analysis. But there's also this whole other side of being the target audience for the project you're working on and the name of this side is "prejudice" (and, well, assumptions)🤭 The great thing is that over the years I've learned to work with that and to separate real pain points coming from real data and my personal pain⚡️ Thank you for your attention! I look forward to hearing your thoughts
