WWDC Swift Student Challenge Submission
This project was my second submission for the WWDC Swift Student Challenge — and my very first time exploring SwiftUI. Coming from a background in design and research, coding felt like stepping far outside my comfort zone. But I loved the challenge of building something interactive and genuinely useful for others to experience.
Overview
In “User Experience,” you’ll help a team of developers improve the flawed design of a food delivery app using Apple’s Human Interface Guidelines (HIG) — all in just one minute! It’s a fast, engaging way to see how thoughtful design principles can transform user experiences.

What Are the Human Interface Guidelines?
