Also begin of second year, around the same time as Lotus Education. Conference Lotus was a separate brief. Same client, different context. The goal: a user-friendly, responsive website for the annual Lotus Bakeries conference, aligned with their corporate identity.
The main thing I remember about this one is the Figma prototyping. Making a fully interactive prototype across three screen sizes (desktop, tablet, mobile) means a lot of connections between frames, and the prototype view starts looking like something you'd find behind a restaurant refrigerator at the end of a long night. Complete spaghetti. But it works.
Prototyping at that level of detail forces you to think through every interaction, every edge case, every screen state. You can't fake your way through it. If a flow doesn't connect you have to go back and build it. That's uncomfortable while you're doing it but it's the point.
What I learned
Responsive design isn't just about adjusting breakpoints, it's about rethinking hierarchy and interaction for each context. What works on desktop often needs more than a layout shift on mobile. This was the first time I had to think across all three simultaneously from the start rather than adapting after the fact.
