1. Project Overview

In 2024, I began participating in the Global Daily UI Challenge, a worldwide initiative where designers receive a new prompt each day to create a fresh UI concept. This challenge attracts thousands of designers globally, making it both a source of inspiration and a way to push creativity beyond client projects.

2. Challenge

  • Produce high-quality designs in a limited time (daily or weekly).
  • Explore new design styles, layouts, and interactions outside my regular work.
  • Build a consistent design practice while keeping designs fresh and creative.

3. Design Process

  • Daily Prompts — Topics included sign-up screens, dashboards, payment pages, landing screens, mobile apps, and more.
  • Research & Inspiration — Looked at real-world examples, UI trends, and accessibility considerations before sketching ideas.
  • Design Execution — Used my preferred tools (e.g., Figma, Adobe XD, etc.) to bring ideas to life, experimenting with color, typography, and components.
  • Iteration & Learning — Reviewed each design critically, noted improvements, and sometimes revisited older challenges to apply new skills.

4. Outcome

  • Built a diverse collection of UI concepts across multiple industries (finance, e‑commerce, health, travel, etc.).
  • Improved speed, consistency, and creativity in producing designs.
  • Gained global exposure by sharing designs on design communities and comparing approaches with other designers.
  • Expanded my personal design library of reusable components, color palettes, and layout ideas.

5. Reflection

The UI Challenge became more than just daily practice—it was a way to push boundaries, experiment without restrictions, and learn from a global community. It has also strengthened my problem‑solving skills by forcing me to think about user needs in different contexts every day.
