As part of the Touch2Tech initiative, I launched a 30-day design challenge aimed at helping UI/UX designers reimagine digital interfaces through physical-world metaphors. This focused mini-campaign acts as a creative accelerator for designers of all levels—encouraging them to turn tangible, everyday objects into intuitive UI components.

Each day, a new design prompt is delivered via a custom-built website that I designed and developed specifically for this challenge. Prompts include tasks like "Design a toggle inspired by a flashlight switch" or "Create a dropdown menu based on a filing cabinet", blending nostalgia and tactile familiarity with functional digital design.

The platform allows designers to:

• View and respond to daily prompts

• Share their work on social media using campaign hashtags like #Touch2Tech and #Touch2Tech30

• Be featured on the website and in the component library if their work stands out

• Participate in a growing community of designers experimenting with skeuomorphism and analogy-based UI

The goal is to promote:

• Creative consistency through daily practice

• Exploration of physical-world elements in GUI design

• Community engagement via Dribbble, LinkedIn, Instagram, and X (Twitter)

By providing both structure and creative freedom, this challenge offers a space for playful experimentation while contributing to the larger Touch2Tech component library.
