Introduction

Capture Hub is a premier marketplace connecting clients with top-tier visual storytellers. This project focuses specifically on the Creator Dashboard a powerful business suite designed to help photographers and videographers manage their careers. The app empowers creators to showcase their portfolios, organize incoming booking requests via a unified inbox, manage their shooting schedules, and track their earnings, all from one streamlined interface.

My Role

I managed the entire design and development process for the Creator-facing side of Capture Hub over a three-week period.

I was responsible for the end-to-end experience for professional users, from user research and ideation to scamping wireframes and developing both low-fidelity and high-fidelity prototypes. I focused heavily on component design and iteration to ensure the booking and management tools were intuitive for working professionals.

Problem Discovery

Freelance photographers and videographers often struggle to balance their creative work with the administrative side of their business. Managing inquiries across email, Instagram DMs, and WhatsApp creates a chaotic workflow where opportunities are easily missed.

During early interviews with creators, we discovered that many professionals felt overwhelmed by the logistics of scheduling and payment tracking. They would often double book themselves or lose track of which clients had paid deposits because their systems were manual and disconnected. This lack of organization not only caused stress but also made it difficult for them to present a professional image to high value clients.
