Key Learnings
What this project taught me
Systems Thinking Reveals Complexity
Designing every screen forced me to consider AI implementation, data flow, and backend requirements—not just surface interactions.
Feasibility Defines Direction
I researched AI training for garment recognition and pattern generation. Understanding feasibility helped me scope features appropriately.
Transparency Builds Trust
Learned to position AI as collaborative assistant through clarifying questions, transparent limitations, and progressive disclosure.
Constraints Force Prioritization
Limited time meant choosing between breadth and depth. Focusing on core flows over edge cases resulted in a more cohesive solution that addressed real pain points effectively.
