Project Overview

Client Name: Hojin Kang

Industry: Artificial Intelligence (Ai)

Objective: Paintly is an app that inspires users firstly through a full-screen gallery of art and secondly gives them simple tools to create their own images, edits, or videos with the help of AI.

My Role: Mobile App and Icon Design, Brand Development

Duration: 6 weeks

Scope and Objective

Most creative apps drop users straight into complex editing tools. Beginners feel lost. The client wanted something different:

Inspire users the moment the app opens

Reduce friction from idea to creation

Keep users engaged with easy sharing and exploration features with Ai

My Deliverables

1-hour Deep Dive Call + Ongoing Consultation

Complete User Journey and Personas

20+ Custom Screens (Core app + Extra features like search, filters, chat, etc.)

Full Design System (Typography, Colors, Components)

High-Fidelity Designs

Interaction & Animation Concepts

Responsive design for iOS screen only

Clickable Prototype

Full Developer Handoff Package (Specs, assets, documentation)

App Icon Design

App Icon

Process

Understanding the Vision

I started by reviewing the full product description shared by the client. This gave clarity on the app’s core idea — to move users from inspiration to creation quickly and enjoyably.

I identified three core goals:

Inspire users right from the start

Simplify the creative flow

Make sharing feel rewarding.

2. Visual design and development

With the idea locked in, we drove straight into high-fidelity screens with a clean, creative look. I used vibrant colors, motion, and full-screen visuals to make the experience feel bold and inspiring.

Each section had its own role:

Gallery to spark ideas

Prompts to nudge users into creating

Templates to lower the barrier to start

Editor to make customization feel guided and playful

Marvis has done more than just a designer. In particular, he is very sincere about AI-based UX design, which is becoming a trend these days, and he has provided excellent UI/UX visually, enabling us to achieve high business value through the same scope of development. I hope to continue to work with him on various projects in the future
