From inspiration to collaboration
Creative work starts with discovery: the right creator, reference, collaborator or location. A gallery alone is not enough if the next step scatters people across unrelated conversations. LensMap connects discovery with creator profiles, messaging and booking so interest can become collaboration.
Several journeys, one product
The platform brings together profiles, published work and projects, a location catalogue and search. Messaging, notifications and booking continue the public discovery journey in a private workspace. The PWA supports returning use across devices, beyond an initial browse.
Architecture shaped by the content
Media, search and background operations have different needs. Next.js and React power the interface; NestJS handles backend logic. PostgreSQL stores relational data, Redis and BullMQ handle background work, and Meilisearch supports discovery. Separating these responsibilities makes individual journeys easier to evolve.
Beyond the visual design
The work covers both the visible platform and the systems that make it useful: data models, access, search, messaging and background processing. The central design challenge is continuity: each screen continues the same user journey.
