What was broken—and why it mattered

Creators juggle multiple tools for face editing, swaps, and AI video—fragmented workflows slow production and increase cost.

Unify face swap, face editing, makeup, and AI video generation in one polished mobile studio with save-and-share built in.

UX

User Flow Architecture

Defined modular feature sets—photo tools vs. video pipelines—sharing a consistent editor shell.
