Suune
A platform designed to streamline collaboration between visual artists and businesses.
[Project Overview]
Suune is a collaborative project management tool that enables artists to find opportunities, manage projects, and handle invoicing, while giving businesses the tools to hire talent, track progress, and oversee deliverables—all in one place.
[My Role]

[Problem]
Both visual artists and business struggle to find commissioned projects and efficiently manage communication during the collaboration period. Existing solutions lack the tools needed for seamless collaboration, leaving users without a structured way to handle their work.
[Goal]
Help artists find new opportunities, manage projects, invoice clients, and work closely with teams and other artists and allow businesses to hire talent, track project progress, and oversee deliverables, streamlining the creative workflow.
[Research]
When I joined Suune, the team had already conducted market and user research, leading to a site map and user flows that outlined the platform’s structure. My role, alongside two other designers, was to translate these insights into wireframes and high-fidelity designs for the MVP.
We focused on the most essential features:
Our primary focus was to design the project space first, ensuring it was intuitive and well-structured before expanding to other flows. At this stage, we prioritized:
Structuring the project space for both clients and artists to ensure clarity and ease of use.
Grouping, categorizing, and organizing information for better navigation.
Exploring how users could quickly grasp project details without feeling overwhelmed.
Refining high-fidelity designs, making real-time adjustments to enhance information architecture and user experience.

[Designs]
The final designs for the MVP went through multiple iterations, incorporating feedback from developers to ensure feasibility. These refinements helped shape a more practical and efficient solution while maintaining the core user experience. The designs focus on the essential features needed for the MVP. These flows were prioritized as they address the most critical aspects of project collaboration—efficient project setup, clear communication, streamlined file sharing, and smooth payment processing.
