How I organize creative inspiration when starting a new project


When I’m starting something new—whether it’s a product, a brand, or even just exploring a vibe—I always begin by collecting visual references. Color, texture, typography, energy. I’m not trying to impress anyone. I’m trying to feel it.
This is where building an aesthetic moodboard comes in. It’s not just about pretty images—it’s about anchoring the creative direction. It helps me stop second-guessing and start building with clarity.
For years, I tried to make it work across Pinterest, Google Drive, Figma files. But nothing really stuck. Everything felt temporary and scattered. I wanted a space that respected the mess and helped me make sense of it.
That’s one of the reasons I built Viewport.
Viewport gives me a simple, structured way to pull inspiration together, explore directions, and actually see how a project is coming to life. It’s fast, visual, and built for people who think in images. No layers, no endless zooming—just clean, beautiful frames where your process lives.
Now, every time I make an aesthetic moodboard, it feels more intentional. Like I’m creating a foundation I can actually build on—not just a collage to scroll past.
If your inspiration is always scattered, Viewport might help you find your rhythm.
