Project Overview

From initial mood board inspiration through realistic visualization and actionable redesign insights, ChezAI empowers users to transform any space—from small apartments to entire homes—with creativity and confidence.

Project Duration

May 2025 – Present

The Product

ChezAI takes home design to the next level:

  • Mood Boards: Instantly assemble digital collages, drawing from style templates and your own inspirations, to clarify your vision.
  • AI Design Visualization: Create breathtaking, photorealistic previews of interiors and exteriors—just upload a photo or start with a blank slate.
  • Remodel & Redesign: Experiment with different layouts, color schemes, and decor styles for any room or outdoor space.
  • Personalized AI Insights: Upload photos and unlock tailored recommendations for furniture, color palettes, and decor based on your chosen aesthetic.

All features are packaged in a beautifully intuitive interface geared for homeowners, renters, and design enthusiasts alike.

The Problem

For many, home design and remodeling is overwhelming—translating an idea into a cohesive style is tough, and mistakes can be costly. Most design tools are complex, time-consuming, or require prior experience; others lack customization, photorealism, or real-time feedback.

The Opportunity

  • Growing DIY and personalization trends mean users want creative control and confidence in their home projects.
  • AI and vision models open the door for fast, realistic, and individualized design experiences that were impossible just a few years ago.
  • There’s demand for simple, mobile-first, all-in-one tools for inspiration, visualization, and actionable insights.

The Goal

Create an accessible yet powerful AI design companion—helping users dream big, experiment safely, and see their future home before ever picking up a paintbrush or calling a contractor.

My Role

Solo product designer & SwiftUI developer for ChezAI. Led all aspects: research, feature design, data flow, AI model integration, UX/UI design, launch, and marketing.

Responsibilities

  • Researched pain points from DIYers, homeowners, and decorators—from “I can’t visualize my idea” to “What colors actually look good together?”
  • Designed a mobile-centric interface minimizing friction for mood boards, photo uploads, and previews.
  • Integrated advanced AI for photorealistic rendering and style analysis.
  • Built share and save flows—making it easy to revisit concepts or share with professionals, partners, or social media.
  • Developed personalized recommendations based on user-uploaded photos.
  • Managed all branding, App Store presence, and early feedback channels.

The Result

  • Seamless Inspiration-to-Visualization: Users start with a mood or a simple photo and finish with a vivid, realistic preview.
  • Personalization at Scale: AI offers individualized suggestions for furniture, colors, and styles—like a private interior designer in your pocket.
  • Effortless Experimentation: Try endless combinations, layouts, and styles in seconds, risk-free.
  • User Ownership: Save, favorite, and share design boards or AI renderings with anyone—no subscriptions required to get started.
  • Elegant, intuitive experience: Modern UI keeps focus on creativity—not complexity.

What I Learned

  • Visualization is the biggest hurdle for most home designers—clear, realistic previews eliminate indecision and regret.
  • Streamlined, mobile-first design wins: users want both inspiration and execution in their pocket.
  • AI-powered insights (color/furniture recommendations) add real value beyond visual fantasy—users crave actionable feedback.
  • Sharing and saving are essential—design is social by nature!

Takeaways

  • Reducing “friction” from idea to visualization is transformative in the home design space.
  • The combination of mood, photorealism, and actionable tips makes ChezAI uniquely empowering.
  • Home design is both a personal and collaborative journey—tools should address both needs.
  • Simplicity, personalization, and visual quality drive user adoption and return engagement.
