Overview

The inspiration for Postfolio came from observing how valuable content remains scattered across numerous platforms and social media sites. I saw an opportunity to create a unified platform where content curation meets social discovery. The goal was to build a solution that not only helps users save and organize their favorite content but also enables them to connect with others through their curated collections.

I designed the platform with a sophisticated yet intuitive interface that makes content saving and organization seamless. Users can easily save content from various sources, organize them into customizable categories, and choose whether to keep their collections private or share them with the community. The social aspects create an engaging environment where users discover new content through others' collections, interact through comments and likes, and build connections based on shared interests.
