Hit the brakes on those faux projects and dive into the thick of health, trot into travel triumphs, and gear up for transportation feats. Ready to get your hands dirty with actual issues that matter?
You finish a boot camp with 0 projects that you can show and start applying with yet another redesign of YouTube, and wonder “Why am I not getting any responses”.
Fear not.
We created the Product Design challenges for people like you.
Stop the unsolicited redesigns of famous apps, and try and solve a real problem in the world.
Document your process and share it with hiring managers so they can see you have some experience in the industry.
This is perfect if you:
👨🏼🎓 Are a student and want to transition into UX design
💪 Are an industry pro and want to switch fields, or try something new
🧑🎨 Are a PM and want to transition into design
💵 And most importantly, the challenges are FREE of charge.
Looking forward to seeing what you’ll design.
Challenges like this encourage the designer to consider the entire user experience and how all the pieces connect. I've written about why the daily UI challenge isn't as effective (https://medium.com/user-experien...) because it only has new designers considering one piece, not how it all works as a holistic experience. This is definitely something I'll be recommending!
@dan_sapio Indeed, the daily UI challenge is good, but it locks you into one vertical. Which is not bad if that's the only thing you want to improve, but in order to design effective software you need to think holistically about every aspect of design.
This is so cool! Can't wait to share with with a good friend of mine that's just began his journey as a UX designer! I think he'll be really thrilled to get some actual work done after taking so many courses
This is so cool! I love how you are not only proposing real-world problems to solve but also providing insight into their solution discovery. Is there a way to share your solution with others or check how others solved the same challenge? It might be interesting to provide some templates that designers could use to present their solutions in the most compelling/effective way :) Good luck!

Your platform is like the ultimate training ground for newbie designers! 🚀 Love how it throws real challenges their way, turning skills into perfection.
Quick one: Any standout success stories from designers who've leveled up using your platform?
Incredible initiative! I really appreciate the spirit of this project as it offers designers a practical opportunity to get hands-on experience and create valuable design projects for their portfolios, especially when they don't have much to showcase yet. I'm particularly intrigued to see how this could evolve into something even bigger: a community learning experience, where people from various fields collaborate on the same challenges — just like in real life. The potential for leveling up is immense. Excited to see where this leads! Congrats @denislav_jeliazkov
