How the weeks unfold
Weeks 1–2 · Seeing the problem

Explore ideas quickly on paper, then structure screens with flows, hierarchy and content-first wireframes.
Weeks 5–6 · Prototype and test
Build a clickable prototype in Figma and run three moderated usability tests with real participants.
Weeks 7–8 · Polish and present
Refine the visual layer, write your case study and present it to a panel of working designers.
