District 214 is a public high school district in the state of Illinois/USA, focused on innovation and empowering students for the future. Our goal was to design a stock market simulator for the first Finance & Investing Competition of D214 to help students learn and grow through real-world experience.

Starting by developing a deep understanding of the goal and exploring the problem, we designed the entire journey focusing on the user experience. The app simulates an entire year of stock market activity in just one hour, and through UX design principles we ensured the experience was smooth and engaging, rather than overwhelming.

*This project was a collaboration with software engineer Jack Mullinkosson and his team, who invited us to take on the design role for this project.
