In this creative app development, I decided to merge two words (pixel-portfolio) to emphasize the digital accessibility of portfolios. I hand designed the bottom navigation icons in an 8-bit fashion on Adobe Illustrator and developed a proper wordmark that established the style of my app prototype.

Oftentimes, artists that are applying for certain positions don’t get the opportunity to showcase their artwork before they’ve been reviewed by an automated system for their on-paper credentials. I researched and empathized the pain points for junior designers and based on my local research, I created an app that at first separates the art from the artist so it leaves zero room for bias between company and employer. With this in mind, I wanted to make it more accessible for companies to hand-select the right candidates for them with a swiping method app structure based on the style and work of the artist.
