⟢ Project Overview
How might we make sharing work and receiving constructive feedback more accessible and enriching for creatives, while eliminating frustrations and enhancing their creative process?
⟢ Problem
In the creative space, many existing platforms prioritize the end product, often adding unnecessary stress to people when it comes to sharing their work for refinement purposes.
On a global scale, creatives seek feedback on their work for growth and professional development. People are finding it increasingly difficult to receive timely, constructive criticism, especially on platforms where the posting, approval, and moderation processes are lengthy and inconsistent. This has led to frustration, inefficiency, and workflow disruption.
Picture this: You’re a designer at the midpoint of a client project. Wanting to get unbiased feedback on your work, you turn to Reddit. After 4+ hours, you discover that your post has been deleted by the community for unknown reasons. Now what?
⟢ Problem Validation
Why do we need this? Because the feedback loop for creatives is broken.
The current process of sharing work and receiving feedback is fragmented across multiple platforms, each with its own set of rules, approval systems, and moderation processes. This inconsistency creates barriers for creatives who need timely, actionable feedback to refine their work.
⟢ Design Solution
To address this gap, Flint was created. A centralized, reliable platform dedicated solely to providing a space where creatives can share their work at any stage and receive timely, constructive feedback.
After conducting ideation session, I evaluated various design concepts and chose to focus on a mobile app community platform designed to streamline the feedback process for creatives.
