Winning at Hackathons
Concept + UI/UX + Presentation + Team Work
Over three years I took part in four hackathons across Northern California, taking vague ideas to working, presentable products in 24–36 hours.
My job was to clarify our concepts and establish why people should care, then design interfaces and presentations to pitch to judges and sponsors.

Winner, Best AI Hack · Winner, Best Use of Neurelo. An AI-powered, choose-your-own-adventure storybook for children, with parents as collaborators. I owned the concept and the experience design: a typography-led system drawing on physical children's books.

Winner, Best Local Hack. A social platform that helps hackathon participants find teammates with complementary skills, turning the chaotic scramble for a team into something intentional.

Winner, Best TreeDavis Hack. An educational tool that turns dense urban-forestry data for the City of Davis into two clear interactive visualizations: the economic case for planting trees, and the link between a tree's size and the electricity it saves through shade.
