## What it did

ArtsWrk is a two-sided marketplace connecting brands with creative talent - designers, photographers, videographers, illustrators. Brands post briefs, creatives apply with portfolio work, and the platform runs the selection, contracting, and payment flow. Stripe Connect with escrow: money is held until deliverables are approved, protecting both sides.

## What we built

We owned the entire build - design, architecture, frontend, backend, infrastructure. No separate design phase then a build phase; we designed and shipped in parallel with the founder. The marketplace had to feel premium (creatives care about aesthetics) while being robust enough to handle real money and real projects. Launched in 8 weeks.

## The technical work

Two-sided matching at the core: briefs, applications, portfolio review, contracting, payments. Payment infrastructure on Stripe Connect with escrow flows. The portfolio system handles high-resolution images and video without killing page load - progressive loading, CDN-backed delivery, media pipeline built for scale from day one.

## The exit

ArtsWrk launched in 8 weeks, onboarded over 10,000 creators, operated with zero downtime through its growth phase, and was acquired.
