Let's unfold
Origami is a passion project born out of my fascination with the art of paper folding and a realization of the lack of dedicated platforms for learning and practicing this intricate craft. Inspired by the elegance and creativity of origami, I set out to fill this void by conceptualizing a user-friendly app that would serve as a comprehensive resource for enthusiasts of all skill levels. My vision for Origami was to create a space where users could immerse themselves in the art form, from learning basic folds to mastering complex designs.
Through thoughtful research and meticulous planning, I developed a concept that offers step-by-step tutorials, interactive demonstrations, and a vibrant community of fellow origami enthusiasts. By providing accessible and engaging tools for learning and creativity, Origami aims to inspire users to explore their artistic talents and experience the joy of bringing paper to life through the ancient art of origami.

My role
Desiging a concept called Origami, my role was multifaceted, blending research, hands-on exploration, and design thinking methodologies to shape the concept into a user-centric and engaging platform. Recognizing the importance of immersing myself in the art form, I embarked on a journey of discovery, delving into the world of origami firsthand. Through experimentation and practice, I gained valuable insights into the challenges and frustrations that beginners and experienced practitioners alike may encounter.
Leveraging a design thinking process, I adopted the perspective of the user, seeking to understand their needs, desires, and pain points. By conducting extensive research online and gathering feedback from fellow enthusiasts, I identified areas for improvement and opportunities to enhance the appeal of origami as an art form. Through this iterative approach, I honed my skills as both a designer and an origami enthusiast, paving the way for the creation of Origami—a platform that inspires creativity, fosters learning, and celebrates the beauty of this ancient Japanese art.

UI/UX
The design of the Origami app was driven by a commitment to simplicity, accessibility, and creativity, with a focus on providing users with an engaging and intuitive experience. One of the most compelling aspects of the app is its clear and concise step-by-step tutorials, which guide users through the intricate process of folding paper with ease. I particularly enjoyed the seamless integration of augmented reality (AR) technology, which allows users to share and showcase their origami creations in a whole new dimension. With AR, users can bring their virtual origami collection to life, providing a dynamic and interactive platform for sharing their work with others.
Additionally, the app features a showcase of the most creative origami creations, inspiring users to push the boundaries of their creativity and embark on new artistic challenges. By combining user-friendly design with innovative features, Origami has succeeded in creating the perfect hobby app—a delightful and sustainable challenge for anyone seeking to explore the art of paper folding.
