Donation Platform

---

Problem:
The previous donation platform lacked excitement and engagement, leaving high school athletes uninspired. We needed a fun, interactive experience to motivate participants and drive donations.

Approach:
This was my first product design project. I collaborated with one of our stakeholders who provided the vision and overall content flow for the fundraiser, focusing on how students would text links, follow up with calls, and track real-time donations while I brought this vision to life visually. We co-created an engaging donation platform with:

• A live leaderboard displaying donations in real time to encourage friendly competition.
   
• Bold, vibrant design elements like torn paper edges and bright colors to evoke a fun, school-inspired atmosphere.
   
• Playful sound effects (like “Cha-Ching!”) to keep the energy high.
   
• An easy-to-use supporter donation page, where messages from donors appeared live, keeping both participants and supporters engaged.
   

Outcome:

• Raised a record-breaking $66K in just 1 hour.
   
• Increased engagement from students, who loved the real-time updates and competition.
   
• Created a memorable, fun experience with lively design and sound effects.
   

Collaboration:
While our stakeholder provided the overall concept, I was responsible for executing the design, turning the vision into an engaging, visually striking experience that captivated participants and supporters alike.
