Sprintfolio is an AI-driven UX Career Accelerator.
We support early career designers to achieve career-ready skills by matching them to design sprints with cutting-edge startups and industry driven projects. Upon completion, they are invited to our Talent Network where we offer help with portfolio/resume reviews, networking events and interviewing support.
The Client: Kidgeni
Kidgeni is a generative AI art community designed to unlock every kid's inner Picasso. They're dedicated to helping young artists unlock their creativity and imagination by learning about the fascinating world of generative art.
The Design Brief
Designers will explore innovative solutions to transform the current subscription model of Kidgeni, which relies on AI credits, into a system that supports shared accounts. The objective is to empower either kids or educators by providing them with greater autonomy and accessibility to the platform's creative tools. This is a multi-prong challenge and you can determine what to focus on:
Key Objectives:
