Apportunity 2012: Punch Mee

In 2012, before I even knew what UX design was, I created a pitch for a simple, user-friendly time-tracking app. This idea, born out of sheer curiosity and a problem-solving mindset, won me a prize and became a defining moment in my journey. Little did I know, this experience would ignite my passion for design and set me on the path to becoming a UX professional.

I’m sharing these slides exactly as they were created—with Comic Sans font and all—because this pitch is a special milestone in my life. Preserving it in my portfolio as-is is my way of celebrating the beginning of my design journey.

This pitch holds a special place in my portfolio—not just as a prize-winning concept, but as the spark that led me to the world of user experience design. By keeping the slides in their original form, I honor this milestone as a reminder of how far I’ve come. It reminds me that even without formal knowledge, creativity and motivation can pave the way to new opportunities.
