Taste Test
Recently I developed this UI, which is a gamified dashboard for students and teachers with neurodiversity accessibility, especially for ADHD users.
The teacher dashboard has more options than the student dashboard, but I think both are neat.
Which one do you like more?

Really love how you contained the gamified visual elements into that distinct isometric corner widget on the student side. Keeping it completely separate from the core tracking layout is a great way to offer that sense of reward and ownership without adding constant visual noise to the main focus areas.
Thank you :) Exactly! I wanted the design to feel perfectly balanced. Not overwhelming so its not too distracting and also keeping enough fun and stimulant so it brings genuine motivation
Great Work
Thanks 😊
Designing for ADHD-friendly accessibility on top of a gamified dashboard is a genuinely hard brief - most gamification patterns (streaks, badges) can actually overstimulate that audience if you're not careful. What was the trickiest part of balancing the two dashboards?
The main focus is to give dopamine to an understimulated user (ADHD user). Even so, I choose a balanced palette for all users to prevent overstimulation (for non-ADHD people and neurodivergents that are not ADHD). So the overstimulation is not the problem for ADHDers, it is the...
Went with student dashboard too. Isolating the reward elements from the tracking layout the way you did seems like the smarter call for ADHD users, since the dopamine hit doesn't come at the cost of losing track of the actual task. Curious if you tested this with real students or mostly based on research.

✨ KEEPLI, a mobile app mascot created specifically for the Recraft × Contra Mascot Challenge
🧩 Problem
People constantly save photos, notes, places, ideas, and small reminders, yet most of them eventually disappear into digital noise.
Apps can store information, but they often lack the emotional feeling that something meaningful is being genuinely cared for and kept safe.
💡 Solution
That is how KEEPLI, The Little Keeper of What Matters, came to life.
KEEPLI is a warm, observant, and quietly optimistic mascot that keeps forgotten ideas, meaningful places, photographs, tiny joys, and memories, then brings them back at the right moment.
I specialize in mobile product design and have worked on 350+ mobile apps, so KEEPLI was never designed as a standalone illustration. From the beginning, it was created as a character capable of living inside a real digital product.
For this project, I developed:
a distinctive silhouette and personality
a system of emotional states
a custom wordmark and app icon
a sticker pack
mascot integration across the mobile interface
a physical keepsake kit
🎯 Result
The result is a cohesive mascot system that remains recognizable across the mobile app, brand identity, stickers, and physical applications.
My portfolio already includes mascots created for real mobile products, some of which were also developed with Recraft. KEEPLI, however, is an original concept created specifically for this challenge as a complete character, brand, and product system.
💜 Not everything lost is gone.
