Overview
At the Innovation Labs 2020 Cluj Hackathon, each participant was given a random design prompt. Mine was to create a mobile app for an online book repository with robust search and categorization. I came up with BookBase and had 3 hours to turn the brief into a working concept. I designed an app structure that balanced powerful search functionality with an intuitive browsing experience, allowing users to discover books through multiple paths, whether they knew exactly what they wanted or were open to exploring.

The process
With only 3 hours on the clock, every minute counted. I split my time across research, ideation, wireframing, and prototyping, moving fast but staying focused on solving the core problem.
The prototype
The final deliverable was a clickable prototype demonstrating the main user flows, from browsing and searching to the scan-to-add feature.
