1st Place - Startup Weekend Taranaki 2016
October 2016
Startup Weekend is a 54-hour event that brings together designers, developers, entrepreneurs, and experts from all fields to share ideas & skills, form teams, build projects, and launch startup businesses.
I won as part of the team "Lemme" - a digital platform that was created to enable potential buyers to connect and transact with off-market sellers in the property market. As part of this project, I was tasked with the full creation of the Lemme brand, which included a logo, basic website, letterhead, app preview, and other materials that were used in our final presentation to the judges of the event.
2st Place - Startup Weekend Taranaki 2017
November 2017
During my second time participating in the Startup Weekend Taranaki event, I worked as part of the team "In Your Face" - a way to both brighten up the city, and to allow the work of local artists to be viewed by a much wider audience. Our dream was to have electronic billboards that cycled through curated artwork from local artists to be placed at various points throughout the city. As part of this project, I was tasked with the full creation of the In Your Face brand, which included a logo, basic website, letterhead, product mockup, and other materials that were used in our final presentation to the judges of the event.
