The selfie you snapped on your morning bus-ride differs vastly from the photo you captured at last weekend's exhibition. So, why confine them to the same space?
Beads offers a system for organizing your inspirations, introducing an efficient image management solution.

↳ Persona
A visual artist seeking clarity in a chaotic inspiration gallery.
A 32-year-old freelance graphic designer who frequently collects visual inspirations using their phone. They casually save photos into their gallery but rarely revisit them due to the overwhelming mix of everyday photos and inspirations. They feel frustrated and wish for a simpler way to make meaningful use of their saved content.
↳ Research
Understanding of user struggles.
The gallery’s disorganized structure makes it difficult for users to revisit their inspirations, as these are casually saved and mixed with everyday photos. This lack of organization reduces the effectiveness of using inspirations and creates a cluttered archive. Since sorting requires effort that most users tend to avoid, the gallery becomes overwhelming, ultimately diminishing the value of the collected inspirations.
↳The Proposed Solution
A dedicated app for organizing inspirations, designed to enhance photo quality and provide an intuitive, visually inviting space, will empower users to engage with their collections more frequently and effectively.
The system addresses disorganization with an intuitive tagging feature that simplifies managing collections.
It streamlines the process by using smart, system-generated tags to improve search functionality and make discovering saved inspirations easier.
