FABRIC

timeless creative coding archive

FABRIC is a 6-week solo UI design project for a UMD course, where I focused on a personal interest of portfolio building and library sciences. I designed a creative coding archive that helps creative technologists contextualize design trends and technology. The key idea is that design is timeless and always influencing today's work.

PROBLEM

Creatives often rely on current trends for inspiration, but rarely examine the history or context about why past trends emerged, how technology influenced them, or how earlier styles shaped today's aesthetics.

UX & PAIN-POINTS

Platforms push trends and curates visual same-ness. Past styles and technologies are hard to find, understand, or contextualize. No centralized tool for exploring design history. Creatives can expect familiar flows like curating collections.

VISUAL DESIGN

My visual brainstorm, crafting the personality of an artist who loves tech.

STYLE GUIDE

A soft lavender with a light yellow conveys creativity and warmth. Paired with cartoony icons and bubbly fonts, I hope to support an artsy, inclusive, and gentle aesthetic. The name FABRIC refers to both a material of woven fibers —each artwork intertwined on one central platform— and to the fabric of time, reflecting how artwork is timeless, living, and always influential.

REFLECTION

This project was primarily for visual design practice more than UX and I found that moodboards are great starting points for visual design or anything artistic. I will be sharing it with my xFoundry team. Also, if you want to take my design and vibe-code, good luck.
