Art often feels distant, labels speak, but artists don’t. Visitors miss the personal voice and dialogue behind each work. A lack of interaction that makes art feel distant and static.

Reframe.ai turns viewing into conversation. By giving art a voice through AI, it deepens engagement, builds connection, and reframes how audiences experience creativity.

CONTEXT
CONTEXT
Art is everywhere.
On walls - in streets - in galleries, but too often, it whispers instead of speaks.
Visitors look, nod, and move on. Curiosity is sparked, but rarely answered. Emotion is felt, but rarely voiced.
We wanted to change that. To reframe art not as something you just see, but as something you can talk to.

THE PROBLEM WE FRAMED
In a world where digital products teach, guide, and even argue with us, art still speaks in monologue. Visitors look, nod, and move on rarely given space for curiosity, conversation, or deeper connection.

THE OPPORTUNITY WE SAW
We saw a chance to give art dialogue.
What if paintings could answer your questions?
What if sculptures could share their stories?
What if art could remember you, as much as you remember it?

DASHBOARD
DASHBOARD
A map + carousel layout supports both spatial discovery and casual browsing. The “Ask Anything” prompt reduces friction and sparks curiosity.
Shows your current location with nearby artworks in a swipeable carousel. Pull the map down for full view. ‘Ask Anything’ search sits above the nav bar, ready for spontaneous curiosity.

PROXIMITY BASED UNLOCKING
PROXIMITY BASED UNLOCKING
Artwork stays silent until users approach. This prevents overload and adds a sense of reveal, making the interaction feel alive.
Art stays quiet until you are ready. Once you near a piece, the app gently activates: the interface transforms, the artist introduces themselves, and interaction becomes inevitable.
CONVERSATION INTERFACE
CONVERSATION INTERFACE
This is where it gets personal.
A minimalist UI keeps the art central. Multiple input modes (voice, text, camera) ensure inclusivity while responses balance clarity with emotion.

WHY THIS PROJECT MATTERS
WHY THIS PROJECT MATTERS
I chose this project because I’ve always been fascinated by how people experience culture not just by what they see, but how they feel, interpret, and carry it with them.
Too often, art feels out of reach quiet, static, or gatekept by language and context. I wanted to challenge that.
ReFrame Ai emerged as a response to this silence reimagining how we interact with art in everyday spaces, and how artists can embed their voice into the work long after it’s made. It matters because it makes art personal again.

ReFrame reminded me that great interaction design is not just about clarity and utility. It’s about creating space for wonder, voice, and meaning.

THE PROBLEM WE FRAMED
Could we design a system that gives art a voice and gives people permission to talk back?
THE OPPORTUNITY WE SAW
This led us to explore Conversational AI as a bridge between viewer and creator. A way to surface context, intent, and story dynamically based on what the user is curious about, where they are, and how they want to engage.

OVERVIEW
Money isn’t just math — it’s trust, fairness, and sometimes friction. Splitting bills should feel effortless but in Splitwise today, payments are slow, privacy is limited, and groups get messy. What should be simple often turns into confusion and delays.
IMPACT
Splitwise reimagined has built-in payments, smarter groups, privacy you can control, and chats right where expenses happen.
Resulting in faster settlements, clearer splits, and fewer disputes up to quicker paybacks and 2x more clarity if implemented.
