DesignArena: A Live Design Battle Platform

Mikey Itua

DesignArena (working title) – A Live Design Battle Platform

Built in Lovable and Cursor — where design meets esports.
DesignArena is a real-time battle platform where users share screens and webcams to compete or collaborate in front of a live audience. Think [your competitive idea] meets Twitch — for designers.
We’re building a fun, esports-style experience where a host can dynamically switch between participants’ screens and cameras to highlight creativity in action. Ideal for hackathons, design streams, and creative challenges. It's not limited fordesign use cases (hence the working title): it can be used just to monitor what everyone else in your team is doing.

📈 Outcome

This prototype reimagines how design can be experienced in real time — as a spectator sport, a teaching tool, or a creative competition. Built as an MVP using AI tools, DesignArena demonstrates how fast you can go from concept to working prototype with the right workflow.
I’m actively exploring next steps like multiplayer syncing , chat features, and Twitch-style streaming integration.
This project is very much a work in progress.
