Project Overview
Many creatives — artists, writers, musicians, designers, and anyone who identifies as “creative” — often feel stuck between surges of inspiration and complete creative blocks. They lack community support and frequently feel isolated in their journey. Drawing from my own path — reading Steal Like an Artist, The Artist’s Way, and especially Daily Rituals — I built a web prototype (artistrituals.in) that matches your daily habits to those of historic icons. The long term goal is to create a one-stop productivity and community platform for creatives of all kinds.
Expected Impact
Through visual prompts, nostalgic elements, and small daily tweaks, the platform helps users navigate and overcome creative blocks. In time, personalized insights will help users recognize early signs and snap out of those blocks more efficiently. A space where creatives can share their work-in-progress, receive feedback, and feel part of a supportive peer network. By engaging with prompts and sharing outcomes, users stay inspired and help inspire others. The platform will act as an umbrella that honors cultural diversity, allowing creatives to learn from one another, embrace their roots, and discover new traditions.
