Overview
"This concept project explores the end-to-end UX/UI design process through the creation of CoLab; a fictional social media platform centered around creative collaboration. CoLab is designed to help artists, designers, writers, and other creatives share their work, exchange feedback, and build a supportive community. The goal of this project was to practice key UX methodologies — including user research, wireframing, prototyping, and visual design.

Goals
1. Strengthen UX/UI Design Skills
To gain hands-on experience with the full design process — from research and user flows to prototyping and visual design — in a self-directed, low-risk environment.
2. Explore Community-Centered Features
To experiment with design solutions that encourage meaningful interaction, collaboration, and feedback within a digital creative community.
3. Design a Feedback-Driven User Experience
To create intuitive features and flows that make giving and receiving feedback on creative work feel natural, supportive, and engaging for users.
