A dual-sided platform connecting junior designers with real-world projects led by senior creatives — without the time drain of mentorship or the friction of job boards.

PROJECT OVERVIEW

By combining an intuitive interface with a serene Zen garden visualization that evolves with user progress, Echo makes reflection an engaging and rewarding habit.

MY ROLE

FINAL THOUGHTS

We didn’t build a mentorship app. We built a system that turns creative potential into proof-of-work.

Fast, fair, and async.
