1237 hackers. 589 teams. 45 countries. One hackathon [and one designer].

For 48 hours in September of 2022, hackers from all over the world convened in Boston, London, Rotterdam, and Singapore to build solutions for three non-profit organizations.

From creating the brand identity and extending the brand language, to designing the web presence and application UI, to exporting thousands of .png files in the production grind, I served as the sole design resource for this whopper of a project. I have never consumed so much coffee in my life (or attended so many 3am meetings with my European colleagues), and I wouldn't trade a minute of it.

One attendee described the event branding as "MS-DOS on acid", and I take that as the highest praise.
