Glimpse
A visual media browser for exploring, organising and working with photos, video and inspiration, directly from existing folders and drives.
My role: System Design, Workflow Design
Glimpse grew out of my own archive: twenty years of creative work and photography, with images and video that were often difficult to find quickly. The aim was a more visual way to browse, organise and rediscover that material.
Glimpse opens existing folders and drives directly, without importing everything into another library. Images and video sit together in a visual browser, with search, file details and collections for bringing useful material back into view.
The project now extends from browsing into making. Studio brings image generation, editing and video tools alongside the library, with a choice of local models and connected services. The work spans the interface, media handling and the practical steps between finding a reference and developing an idea.
Glimpse is still in development. The website introduces the project and offers a beta mailing list.
