Startup is a week-long design challenge that tasks students to create a professional product or service concept. This year’s theme, “Where do we go from here?” pushes us to find something that has affected us and use design and modern technology to solve the problem.

This was my first time in college working in a group project and being a lead! It was such a turning point for me, I reflected on this experience and used this case study to apply and get accepted into the SCAD PRO program! What’s special about this project isn’t so much the solution we came up with, but the process of getting to a solution and tackling such an ambitious and open-ended prompt.
