SO... what happened?

My team created TEMP+ to address the time constraints of students by designing a streamlined marketplace where they could quickly find and purchase productivity templates tailored to their needs. Instead of spending hours structuring their workflow, students could download ready-made solutions for platforms like Notion and Excel, cutting down setup time and maximizing efficiency. Market research and UX insights shaped our categorization and recommendation system, ensuring that users found relevant templates effortlessly.

Impact & learning

Designed an eCommerce platform to sell productivity templates

I designed TEMP+’s eCommerce platform with a focus on usability, clarity, and conversion. The goal was to make a digital product store feel as effortless as downloading a file while ensuring templates were visually appealing, well-categorized, and easily customizable. The end result was a streamlined marketplace where users could instantly find, preview, and purchase templates that suited their specific productivity style — whether that would be Notion, Excel or other tools.

Conducted market reseach to understand the needs of young professionals and students to create personalizable productivity templates

Productivity isn’t one-size-fits-all—what works for a student juggling deadlines might not suit a professional balancing meetings and projects. To ensure TEMP+ delivered real value, I led market research efforts to understand how young professionals and students structure their workflows. Through user interviews, surveys, and competitor analysis, I identified common pain points: a need for customizable, easy-to-use templates that could seamlessly integrate into their daily routines.

Produced investor-ready pitch decks

To scale TEMP+, we needed to effectively communicate its market potential, differentiation, and impact. I developed compelling pitch decks that distilled complex insights into a clear, persuasive narrative. By leveraging data from our market research, user testimonials, and strategic roadmap, I crafted presentations that resonated with potential investors and partners.
