Simplifying 3D garment design with AI-powered tools

OVERVIEW

Making a complex 3D fashion platform easier to understand

Moirai brings 3D garment design, AI assistance, and avatar customization into one platform. My work spanned UX research and design, with a primary focus on the launch website. I translated complex capabilities into a clear introduction for fashion designers, helping visitors understand the product and find their next step.

Simplifying Professional Design Tools

Simplifying Professional Design Tools

Fashion designers spend 3-6 months just learning tools like Clo3D before they can actually design. The software is powerful but overwhelming, no AI assistance, clunky avatar creation in separate tools, and painful switching between 2D patterns and 3D previews.

Moirai wanted to change that: build a professional-grade 3D design tool that designers could pick up in days, not months.

"I tried Clo3D for weeks and still felt lost. The interface felt like it was built for engineers, not designers."
