ProjectRallyShipped2026

Rally is a mobile companion app for a private, team-based workplace competition event. It replaces the spreadsheets and group chats organizers were using with one place to run entry, challenges, and scoring. I led the project end to end, leading interviews, research, flows, interface, brand, and hand it off to development, working with a software systems partner to help with privacy and scale.

The problem

Organizers were running a fast-moving, team-based competition on tools that were never built for it.

The workplace event, Car Rally, ran on spreadsheets, DMs, and message threads. Teams filmed their challenges and sent them through Facebook Messenger or Instagram, and when hundreds of videos arrived at once, organizers reviewed every one by hand. Organizers needed a system that could handle scale, verify challenges efficiently, and show real-time standings to every team.

The frictions

Friction 01Points lived in spreadsheets and message threads.Organizers copied scores by hand out of group chats into Google Sheets, so the standings were always out of date.

Friction 02Verification was the bottleneck.Dozens of challenge videos arrived at once. Organizers opened each DM, watched every clip, and checked it against the rules one by one.

Friction 03Manual coordination capped growth.Every new team added work for the organizers, so the event could not grow past what a few people could track by hand.

The outcome

One app that holds the whole event: private entry, live challenges, and submissions that score themselves.

The design decisions

With the frictions mapped, I built the features that take the manual work off the organizers while giving teams a live view of where they stand, so the event feels like a structured competition instead of an amateur event.

Onboarding

Players enter their number and receive a verification code. Because the event is private, entry is checked against a list of confirmed players with no accounts, no passwords, and no way in for anyone who is not playing.

Challenges

Players scroll the full challenge list and pin the ones they plan to complete onto their home page, so the app opens on what they are working toward instead of everything on offer.

Proof is submitted in the app against the specific challenge, replacing the flood of DMs. Organizers review one queue with the rules attached.

Teams

Anyone can create a team and hand out a code. Rosters assemble without an organizer in the middle, which is what let the event grow past what a few people could track by hand.

Once scores are verified in the app they post straight to a live leaderboard, so teams can check their position at any point instead of waiting on an organizer's spreadsheet. Seeing their own total next to every other team's is what pushes them to take on another challenge.

Reflection

I don't have to build all of it myself.

This project ran across two years. The first year failed because I tried to do everything alone, and the app never shipped. The second year I handed my prototype to a software systems partner, who audited the things I hadn't considered about shipping a real app. Working to our strengths is what got it out, and it ran the smoothest Car Rally the workplace has had.
