- This video is why I started this channel in the first place - to share life experiences, document the journey, the ups and downs with each of you. It took 50 days and multiple rounds of feedback from my friends (thank you!) to get to where it is today. I hope you’ve gotten value out of this video.

wow the devs coded a full on prototype in less than 48 hours, which is very impressive to me! congrats on the win guys!
Most devs can code a prototype in a day of all the specs and graphics are ready. Making a product is what us slow and tedious (I'm a game/backed/app dev)
right the brainstorming part is difficult@@frankhaugen
so Tien never won before because his team was always missing an UI/UX designer?
Not really, but having someone as good as Rachel is really game changing. 😊
Not how Tien (a typical backend dev) would put it, but yes 😂😂
I've tried at least 5 hackathons and the outcome is either my solution isn't accepted or I give up, most of the time. Last month, I decided to try another hackathon but I was looking for a content that will motivate me and i came across yours. Rachel, I really appreciate you for sharing your first hackathon experience. It was my inspiration during that hackathon and I am happy to share that I won my first hackathon.
congrats!
Wow congratulations
Holy F*** this presentation/video is world class. Impressive from all angles.
proud to have a colleague like zikri, always a wizard in his field.
🔥🔥🔥
Congratulations on your impressive hackathon win! Your dedication, creativity, and technical skills truly shone through. And I must say, the video you created was absolutely fantastic!
Thank you very much! It’s a team effort 🥹 I’m glad you enjoyed the video!
I swear, you're more of a film maker than UI/UX Designer 😂😂 This is very beautiful
Congratulations on winning your first hackathon, Rachel! Like every video of yours I've watched, this was interesting and insightful, but it gave me goosebumps. You put in a lot of work, and it was exciting to see you win. Well done and congratulations to you and your team!
Congratulations Rachel! This is my first time watching your video and it feels amazing. The storytelling is very good and it touched my heart. I'm currently a college student and also experienced and love joining case studies, and programming contests. I literally cried the moment they announce that your team is the winner. This video made me want to join more programming related contests.
With storytelling like this, who needs case studies?
Bravo, Rachel! 🎉

I was on the service design jam 2 weekends ago too, but I'd never be able to put so much heart and soul into telling the story so beautifully.
Aww that is a huge honor coming from you, Anfisa 🥹 Thank you for watching, and I believe you can tell a fantastic story too ❤️
Congratulations! First time on the channel. Literally loved it and from now onwards i will follow you. Hope we see content like this.
I really loooove this video so much! Thanks so much Rachel! This video always ALWAYS inspires me to be a better version of myself as a designer. I admire how the product was COMPLETELY user-centered, gives me insights on what a great user experience should look like. I will continue looking up to you, and yes please, I'd love to see the interview!
It's been so beautiful to watch you grow and learn from you as a Designer! Another awesome win, you rock! :)
I have been following your videos for a long time and its so wonderful to see you win a hackathon. very inspiring Rachel, keep us motivated. Now I am planning to take part in a hackathon.

Impressive storytelling on an impressive storytelling! Congrats on the great achievement! Hopefully, part of the ideas will be implemented :)
first time watching your video excellent story telling, montage. I learned a lot, I didn't about hackathon. Congrats!! You won a new subscriber!
WOW!!! what an immersive storytelling about the journey of your hackathon. Absolutely loved it..

Very inspiring journey Rachel. Kudos to you and your team. How are you all able to put something together so fast? And here I am building my idea for months full-time..
I'm so happy for you guys! Congratulations! I cried! hahaha So proud of you guys!
Hi Rachel! Big big fan of your channel since subs were still
Really great format! I'd love to watch this in a series form diving into the ideation, design, etc. maybe each in 20min segments!
This video was surprisingly entertaining, and incredibly impressive!
Congrats, so impressive you guys did all of that in a week time. I can’t wait to join another hackathon soon, sadly not a lot are on UX and mostly are for developers only.
Please do video on how you edit animation like the Demo video you did for this Hackathon. Thank you!
Wow, congratulations on the win! Love the storytelling, video editing, the designs,!!!
Thanks so much!!
Absolutely amazing hardwork and dedication of rachel and her teem🎉
Amazing! Love it. Can't wait for more of your videos.
Congratulations 🎉 . I bet the team greatly benefited from your design first approach.
After switching my career to UX Design, this was really a very informative mind blowing session on presenting a story to an international audience. I really appreciate your efforts and I learnt a lot from your content. Stay Blessed!
This is probably my first comment but im writing to say the end bought me tears of joy ! U said can 4 strangers win ? Our question is how can the victory of 4 brilliant strangers bring such joy to people across globe ! Its as if i won something. Brilliant and thanks for inspiring ..even i want to win somethig tho ive just started from scratch since im from finance background
I love the demo video. So much effort in it
A good design and a Good developer what a deadly duo
Congrats!! 🎉 ..also with a team of four, also folks that never won before… I won a pretty big app challenge (some years back in NYC). And another, different competition last year as well, using a pre-release version of a new micro saas.
The cash prizes are nice but it's that feeling ..it's the best. Enjoy it! 👍 👍
Congrats on the win and sharing your experience!
Being your subscriber felt proud...
Can feel the pressure.
Felt like a personal win.
I clapped actually while watching the winning moment
Congrats.🥳. Happy for you and your team🥳🤩🎉
Thank you so much :') Means a lot.
ME TOO! I clapped like a crazy otter at the winning moment with the stupidest grin on my face. Instantly subscribed!
aww thank you! @@wingsaber629
This video is top notch!!! So enjoyable and so well made! Also, congratulations on your win!
Thanks so much!!
Congratulations Rachel and teams! That's giving me a goosebumps how you guys can win and proof that a simple tweak could be the best solutions! And the storytelling in this video is 10/10! Would love to hear tips from Tien!
Thank you so much!
The journey, the obstacles, the effort, the ideas, the solution, and the team-all so well combined and so beautiful. This video gave me very informative and valuable insights. Thanks for sharing, Rachel!
Thank you so much!
The power of Designer!
I loved the way she explained everything so descriptively it was fantastic i enjoyed it a lot thank you for giving such an awesome video
Such a well told story, congratulations on the win
The pivot was so real. During my UX/UI BootCamp, I once worked on a project with a team of 6 and another team had a similar or, if not, the same solution to the same problem. Although our instructor and TAs didn't mind if we didn't copy each other, I knew presenting 2 similar solutions wouldn't help us stand out. Luckily, I pitched an alternative solution and it was well-received by many.
In other words, I am super glad that y'all were able to do it within such a short time span and still won the Hackathon! Big Congrats!!!
Yes - the only way to stand out is to pitch something of a different direction. And thank you for watching, Kelvin!
I legit had tears of joy in my eyes at the end haha! Also inspired after watching your videos to finally start looking at options to pick up UI/UX designing. So thank you for all these videos that helped me decided!
You can do it!
I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!! That was SO WELL made, enjoyed every single second of this video. Congrats
Thank you so much!! ☺️
So you mean to say that this video ended😢. I wish it continued but anyways, excellent story-telling, this is a master piece🎉🎉
And ofcourse we would like a video with Tien in it😊
Thank you for watching! I hope you enjoyed watching this video as much as I did making it :)
You are such a girl boss for this!! Congrats, Rachel! I can't tell you enough how much this inspires and motivates me more.
I just came across this video. This is astonishing the motivation u gave me now is insane. I think my next destination for studios would be Malaysia. If anyone has some advices to me please, I'm open to know it
God Tier editing!
Loved your video!
This video is so authentic. I felt like i won as well. Reacheal you have impacted my life positively. Big Congratulations to you.
Thank you so much for watching! I'm really glad to hear this :)

Well, this was really tough journey. Contratulations.
Amazing video
I attended my first hackathon ever last month and i happened to come in 6th position out of 50 participants.
Quite cool! This is like shark tank in how are you thinking of points to sell your idea and you can bring more value to the idea! Good job!
The idea of Magic Badge and the animation printed on it was just soo cool..Loved the (Mona Lisa character..)
very amazed at your perseverance and entertained by your storytelling! thoroughly enjoyed this video
