Design a custom app that solves a specific user need, with a focus on intuitive interface, visual identity, and branded touchpoints like icons, onboarding screens, and promotional materials.
INITIAL IDEA
Brush & Bloom is a mobile app that connects clients with artists for custom commissions—from illustrations to murals. Unlike Etsy, Fiverr, or Instagram, which aren’t built for personalized art commissions, Brush & Bloom centers the full commission process. The app offers a space for browsing portfolios, direct communication, and secure transactions in a creative, artist-first environment.
Key features include custom user profiles (for artists and clients), categorized portfolios, real-time messaging, and an escrow-based payment system. Clients can search by style, budget, or availability, while artists share quotes, previews, and timelines. Reviews and ratings help foster trust and a vibrant creative community.
