DesignFlows contest submission

What is it?

Designflows is an annual design contest run by Bending Spoons. The 2025 brief asked participants to design a mobile app for managing Hexabots, multi-purpose robots used in a fictional lunar colony for everything from mining to household tasks.

The deliverable was a wireflow of up to 12 screens plus 3 high-fidelity screens, covering a single user scenario: a researcher needing to quickly dispatch a Hexabot to gather materials for a turbine prototype. The brief specified two distinct user groups with almost nothing in common. Researchers multitask under pressure and need speed. Families are non-technical and need simplicity. Getting the same interface to work for both without defaulting to the lowest common denominator was the core design problem.
