Art Sharing & Community Platform - UX/UI design by Vivian Wu

Introduction

In this freelance project, I was the UX/UI Designer, tasked with redesigning KAFUPi, an online platform that merges gallery-style art presentation with social engagement. The client wanted to modernize the art showcase experience, making it warmer, more inviting, and user-friendly, while ensuring full responsiveness across desktop and mobile. Additionally, I designed an interactive forum feature where artists and visitors can engage in discussions about trending art topics, fostering a sense of community.

KAFUPi is an online art showcase platform that blends gallery-style presentation with social media engagement, allowing artists to exhibit their work, connect with audiences, and participate in discussions on trending art topics.

The Problem 🛑

KAFUPi’s online art platform felt outdated and lacked a community element, making it less appealing for artists to showcase their work or engage with audiences. Moreover, its limited mobile optimization caused navigation and viewing issues on different devices, further reducing user satisfaction.

My Solution ✅

I redesigned KAFUPi to provide a modern, inviting gallery, ensuring every artwork is showcased beautifully on desktop and mobile. To foster interaction, I introduced a forum feature where creators and visitors can discuss trending art topics. This responsive, community-driven approach transformed KAFUPi into a vibrant and accessible art platform, enabling deeper connections and better user experiences. 🎨
