Creative Inspiration Hub

Capture. Organize. Create.

The complete creative reference system that helps designers and creatives collect inspiration, organize into collections, track projects, and maintain sources without lost bookmarks and inspiration overload.

Creative Inspiration Hub Dashboard Screenshot

You see inspiring design everywhere. Websites. Apps. Branding. Typography. Photography. You bookmark them, screenshot them, save links in random places. Weeks later, you start a new project. You remember seeing the perfect color palette. Or that brilliant layout. But where? You search browser bookmarks, Dropbox screenshots, Pinterest boards, and Instagram saves. Can't find it. Your inspiration is scattered chaos. No organization by color, type, or style. No way to group references for specific projects. You waste hours re-searching for inspiration that you already captured.

- Design inspiration scattered across bookmarks, screenshots, Pinterest, Instagram saves - No systematic way to organize references by type, color, style, or industry - Can't find that perfect layout or color palette when you need it - No collections for grouping inspiration by project, client, or trend research - Lost track of where inspiration came from (sources not documented) - Can't see which inspiration you've actually used in projects - Screenshots without context (no notes on why it inspired you) - Feeling overwhelmed by inspiration instead of energized by organized reference

Creative Inspiration Hub transforms scattered references into an organized design library with four connected databases: capture inspiration items with detailed metadata, organize into themed collections, link to projects where inspiration was used, and track sources where great design comes from, all visually organized in Notion. Instead of random bookmarks and forgotten screenshots, you save inspiration with 11 types, organize by dominant color, tag with style attributes, rate with stars, group into curated collections, and link to actual projects. Find any reference in seconds through visual galleries, color-based boards, or industry filters.
