Project Overview
Solaris is a high-end mobile platform where digital art and NFTs meet luxury. It empowers creators to mint unique works and collectors to curate premium digital collections, all within a secure and elegant interface that blends art with technology.
Although Solaris did not proceed to a market launch, I took the initiative to develop high-fidelity prototypes that captured the app’s intended design and user experience.
Problem
The digital art and NFT marketplace is growing rapidly, but many platforms fail to offer a seamless, luxury experience tailored to high-end creators and collectors.
Users face challenges with security, user experience, and a lack of exclusivity, which diminishes the value and appeal of their digital assets.
High fidelity prototype
Process
For this project, I worked closely with the CEO to figure out the various flows and end user states that we wanted to keep. We went through many iterations to try and understand what would be best suited for this kind of an application (as shown below)

Mid fidelity experiments
Features
I worked on designing various features of the application, such as AR/VR integration, creating different user types, exploration of various NFT types and their integration into the platform.
Each user falls into two categories - Creators or Collectors.
Creators can make, buy and sell NFTs, with a slightly different user profile. Collectors have their own collections which can be followed by various users.
