Overview

The Art Loom is a conceptual art marketplace app designed to rethink how artists share, sell, and gain visibility for their work. Built around the idea of fairness and community, the platform blends art discovery with a weighted bidding system that values early interest and ongoing engagement, not just who can bid the highest at the last second.

This project explores how intentional product design, branding, and user experience can create a more human-centered alternative to traditional art marketplaces, fostering stronger connections between artists and collectors.
