In a world of constant digital distractions, Singular helps 20–30 year olds retrain their focus, guiding them from a fuzzy to a mindful state. Instead of avoiding devices, it offers a creative experience on the phone. Users engage with 30 shape pieces to craft visuals—rotating, flipping, and shelving what’s unnecessary. AI links their creations to their focus state, sparking meaningful reflections stored for later. Community creations inspire new ideas, while users track how often they stay present without switching apps, and how their creative focus grows. Amazing things happen when you focus.

Description

A challenge-based, 4-week program where my team s I (The Code Brewers) built an iOS app from the ground up. Starting with no prior experience in Swift, SwiftUI, or UI/UX design, I gained hands-on skills across prototyping, coding, Figma design, and pitching. The project covered the entire journey—from idea conception to a fully functional app.

Type

Group project as part of the Apple Foundation Program, delivered in partnership with the University of Technology Sydney.

Role

• Collaborated on brainstorming and refining the concept
• Designed wireframes and prototypes using Figma
• Built UI screens and interactions using Swift/SwiftUI in Xcode
• Contributed to app storytelling, branding, and pitching to mentors/judges
  

Timeline

4 weeks — intensive, full-time sprint (May–June 2025).

Impact

• Helped transform a raw idea into a polished, working iOS app within tight timeframes
• Strengthened the team’s user journey through thoughtful UX decisions
• Delivered a clear pitch narrative that captured the app’s unique value in promoting focus through creativity

Learnings

• Rapidly learned new tools and frameworks (Swift, SwiftUI, Figma, Xcode)
• Built confidence in UI/UX design, storytelling, and presenting to industry mentors
• Learned how to collaborate intensively under time pressure and integrate diverse skill sets into a cohesive product
