WHAT IS IDEAS HARBOR?
Ideas Harbor is an idea saving app for entrepreneurs and creative thinkers to share, collaborate, and evolve their ideas with a community of builders.
CONTEXT
I worked with the Ideas Harbor team to create their foundational design system and brand identity, which I then translated to the design of their new website.
Visual Identity
Color Palette
The visual identity for Ideas Harbor is designed to embody the spirit of innovation, collaboration, and ideation. Drawing from the fluidity and expansiveness of a harbor, the brand features a clean, open design with subtle organic shapes that suggest connectivity and flow. The color palette is reminiscent of a harbor—vibrant but balanced, echoing the energy of a creative community while maintaining a sense of clarity and accessibility.
Typography
Typography choices are modern and friendly, reinforcing the app’s goal of being an approachable yet powerful tool for entrepreneurs and innovators. This visual identity creates a clean, inclusive environment that makes it easy for users to focus in and dive deep ideating and collaboration.

Design Elements
Website Design
The Ideas Harbor website is crafted to reflect the app’s role as a dynamic, communal hub for idea-sharing and innovation. From the moment a user lands on the site, they are guided through an interactive experience that highlights the app’s unique features: friending, group chats, the community ideas feed, and the interactive network graph. Each section of the website is designed with intuitive navigation, helping users understand how Ideas Harbor enables seamless collaboration and personalized idea mapping. Engaging animations bring attention to the platform’s real-time feedback and co-creation capabilities, while the site’s layout supports ease of access to resources and onboarding information. This design approach mirrors Ideas Harbor’s mission to empower users with tools that are both impactful and easy to use, creating an inviting gateway to the app’s innovative ecosystem.
