Finding the sweet spot is everything.
UX/UI is like a volume knob.

Refined the Settings screen → simplified design & stronger CTAs. Less clutter, more intent.

Sometimes less is more.

Day 1: Shipaton Hackathon!
I’m not a designer, so I leaned into some vibe-driven design to quickly visualize the core user experience for EchoKeep.
