The Challenge
Queenie had always had irregular periods, stubborn acne, and a gut feeling something was wrong. For years she assumed, “This is just how my body is.”
The Research
As of 2021, there are approximately 65.77 million women worldwide living with diagnosed and undiagnosed PCOS.
70%
of women with PCOS have insulin resistance and don't know it.
1 in 2
women see 3+ doctors before ever getting a diagnosis.

My Role
UI/UX Design
Designed the Profile and Community pages end to end, from wireframes to final visuals.
Pitch Deck Design
Built the pitch deck that walked judges through our process, user stories, and final demo.
Lived experience as design input
As someone with PCOS, I helped shaped the feature set around what I actually needed and couldn't find in existing apps.
Results
Out of 688 submissions, we received the Most Impact Award. The judges praised us for our highly researched nad impactful solution.
Our 72 hour journey
In just a few days, we created a design system, designed every frame, created a video demo and a pitch deck.
Reflections
Designing from the inside
Being the user meant I caught assumptions my teammates couldn't. It taught me that lived experience is research, but it still needs to be checked against other people's realities.
Constraints sharpened the concept
The short timeline forced us to cut early and often. The features that survived were the ones tied directly to a real moment in a PCOS patient's week.
Impact came from specificity, not scope
We won Most Impactful not by covering everything PCOS touches, but by doing a few things with care. I carry that into how I scope every project now.
