Where references become repertoire

Gaya is a platform where creative professionals publish their work, save what inspires them and find references by colour, theme or author. No ads and no stores, just the work. I created the product from the first idea to launch.

What it is

A space to show and discover creative work across ten disciplines, from photography and illustration to architecture and fashion. Each person has a portfolio, follows other creators and organises references in collections, alone or with their team.

The idea

Creative people spend hours hunting for references scattered across networks full of ads, shops and noise. Gaya was born from the wish for a calmer place, where attention goes to the work and to who made it, with the feel of a museum catalogue rather than a feed.

The proposal

Find the right reference faster and give each work the space it deserves. The gallery opens straight away, can be searched by colour or theme, and each work opens almost full screen, with its author, discipline and the collections it was saved to, on the computer or on the phone.

The goal

Become the repertoire of creative professionals: one place to build a portfolio, gather inspiration and work with the team. Gaya Pro adds shared collections, statistics and a verified profile, and every new work is reviewed before it appears, to keep the space safe and the focus on quality.
