I designed Interlace, a portfolio- and project-based networking platform where visual work takes center stage. Instead of followers, the focus is on building meaningful connections through projects and portfolios.
Showcase: Creatives display their portfolios and projects visually, enabling opportunities to flow directly from their work rather than their resumes. Collaborate: UX/UI designers can find programmers to build their concepts, graphic designers can partner with inventors, and artists can connect with peers for shared projects. Fund: Projects can be funded by people, not VCs—similar to GoFundMe, but tailored to creative projects—giving creators financial freedom without compromising their purpose.
Interlace creates a social network of equals, fostering collaboration, opportunity, and sustainable funding. By shifting the incentives away from follower counts and VC interests, the platform:
1. Generates more opportunities for creatives to be discovered and hired based on their actual work. 2. Empowers collaboration across disciplines, leading to more apps, companies, and experiences funded and built by the people. 3. Builds supportive communities where engagement is meaningful—whether through feedback, collaboration, or financial backing. 4. Amplifies creative visibility through content feeds of art, projects, and portfolios, designed to inspire and connect. Ultimately, Interlace reframes professional networking as a creative ecosystem—a place where projects spark partnerships, partnerships spark companies, and companies remain aligned with their creators’ visions.
Next projects.
