UI Explorations
A series of interface design studies for creative tools. Each concept reimagines
how artists interact with software — stripping away menus, palettes, and panels
in favour of gesture-driven, context-aware controls that fade into the background
and let the work take centre stage.
Approach. Most creative software buries the canvas under toolbars. These studies start from the opposite premise: the canvas is everything. Tools appear only when summoned by gesture, and disappear when not needed. The interface becomes a layer of the creative process, not a separate application to learn.

UI
Gesture study — a two-finger swipe reveals the colour picker, which appears as a floating ring around the cursor. No panels, no palettes.
Motion. Every transition is designed to feel physical — spring animations, overshoot, and inertia give the interface a tactile quality. Buttons compress like real switches, panels slide with momentum, and every action has a micro-feedback loop that confirms the result without text.
