CONTEXT

Challenger needed a revitalized identity to better communicate its role as a hub for hackathons and a showcase for Civitta's innovation services. Our mission was to redesign the platform to reflect its dynamic purpose while elevating the user experience for organizers and participants alike.

Civitta’s vision of empowering startups, corporates, and governments to drive meaningful innovation aligns with my passion for impactful design. Their commitment to solving complex challenges and catalyzing growth makes it a privilege to collaborate on projects like Challenger.

Wireframing

With a clear understanding of Challenger’s goals, we began by translating ideas into wireframes to structure the platform’s functionality and flow. The wireframes served as a blueprint, focusing on simplifying hackathon creation, streamlining participant registration, and showcasing Civitta’s services. This iterative process involved close collaboration with the client to ensure the platform’s design met the needs of both users and organizers. By testing and refining each element, we established a solid foundation for a user-friendly and visually engaging final product.

After multiple revision loops and collaborative feedback sessions, we refined the wireframes into a final design that seamlessly balanced functionality and aesthetics. This finalized structure provided a clear and intuitive foundation, ready to be transformed into a visually striking and fully functional platform.

Visual identity

To re-establish Challenger's identity, we collaborated with Moredesign to create a cohesive and impactful branding strategy. Together, we developed a modern visual language that reflected Challenger’s dynamic and innovative spirit. Using this branding as a foundation, we crafted a modular design system that ensured consistency across the platform. This system provided flexible components for seamless scalability, enabling the platform to adapt effortlessly to various use cases while maintaining a unified visual identity.

Design

Leveraging our custom-built atomic design system, I crafted a cohesive and user-friendly interface for the Challenger platform. Each design element was carefully tailored to maintain consistency while supporting modularity and scalability. To ensure the user flows were intuitive and effective, I developed an animated interactive prototype. This prototype allowed us to test the user experience in real-world scenarios, gather feedback, and refine the design to meet the needs of both participants and organizers. The result was a polished and engaging interface, ready to drive Challenger's mission forward.

CONCLUSION

The final step was transforming the refined design into a fully functional website. Using the atomic design system as a guide, I developed a responsive, visually engaging platform that embodied Challenger’s new identity. This seamless integration of design and functionality marked the culmination of a rewarding process, from discovery to delivery. Collaborating with the Challenger team and seeing the project evolve into a powerful tool for innovation was an incredible experience, showcasing the impact of user-focused design and thoughtful execution.
