Where this sits in the portfolio

Concept

Loomi (Loom + Luminous) is an AI-assisted creative canvas built during a hackathon with team とあるパンダ. It reframes the AI creation tool as something that grows with you: the fragments you save become materials, materials get read for form / colour / texture / mood, and the tool weaves relationships between them so a rough idea can be tried, compared, and refined into an artwork.

What the deck covers

Problem framing (why current AI creation tools fall short for artists), the Material Library / Inspiration Card / draft integration architecture, the split of responsibility between the user and the AI, and how those pieces support the three growth loops we designed for: materials growing, ideas growing, and collaboration growing.
