Reflection

We Found a Match

Participating in Dubstech's Protothon 2023 proved an incredible learning opportunity. It challenged my quick problem-solving skills and ability to navigate the design process efficiently while staying aligned with our goals.

Moreover, it was a valuable chance to glean insights from fellow UX design peers, gaining knowledge on effective teamwork under intense time constraints.

Looking ahead, our team intends to subject UX Match to rigorous testing to collect crucial feedback, with the aim of providing robust support to startups.

Beyond that, the platform holds the potential to serve not only as a resource for UX designers but also as a talent pool for various roles within emerging small companies.
