Carousel

Challenge

Photographers deal with massive, scattered photo libraries — across drives, clouds, and devices — making it nearly impossible to stay organized. Carousel set out to create a photo management experience that feels calm, smart, and human.

Solution

Carousel replaces folders with time. A timeline-based navigation lets users browse by month or year, rediscovering memories intuitively.

The minimalist interface pairs subtle color, generous spacing, and intuitive gestures to make even 100K+ photos feel manageable.

Impact

Reduced search time by 60% · praised for its “calm interface” · recognized as a UX simplification model for visual-heavy tools.
