Overview
Grasp is a gamified learning app built to make Design Thinking accessible and engaging for students. The app guides users through the five stages of Design Thinking through interactive tasks, games, rewards, and a level-based progression system. What began as a game design class project grew into a real product, now developed and tested at the Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship at PES University, and integrated into their larger Learn and Fun app. Designed in collaboration with Samarth A and Chaithali Shetty.

The Challenge
Design Thinking is a non-linear, nuanced process traditionally taught through dense reading material and workshops. The challenge was to translate this abstract, multi-stage methodology into an experience that felt playful and rewarding for students, without oversimplifying the concepts. The app also needed a clear information architecture to support a complex level-based learning journey across multiple personas and tasks.

Designed the full experience from information architecture and wireframes to a complete style guide and high-fidelity UI. The app uses a level map structure where each level represents a stage of Design Thinking, broken into persona selection, task maps, mini-games, rewards, and revision activities. A squirrel mascot and a warm, nature-inspired visual language made the experience feel approachable and fun.

Grasp moved beyond the classroom and is now actively being developed and tested at PES University's Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship. The UI of Grasp was adopted as the design language for their broader Learn and Fun app. The project was also featured in the CIE Newsletter, recognising its impact as a student-led initiative turned real product.
