DICT Best Pitch

Won Best Startup Pitch in Region VI and 2nd Place Nationwide at the DICT Philippine Startup Challenge 8.

Micro-Sellers

Student Commerce

Designed dedicated listing and profile experiences for student entrepreneurs selling custom stickers, crafts, and school gear.

The Engineering Challenge

Students traded textbooks and student micro-businesses sold merchandise through unorganized Facebook groups. Social media feeds quickly buried older listings and offered no structured search or transaction tracking. Campus buyers and sellers lacked a dedicated mobile directory to discover student shops and coordinate physical handoffs safely inside university grounds.

The Architectural Solution

Led product discovery and created full mobile user flows in Figma. Defined feature specifications for our engineering team, including search, buyer-seller chat, and order lifecycle states. Coordinated campus onboarding across student organizations to help student micro-sellers showcase inventories and negotiate campus meetups.
