Computer vision search ๐Ÿ‘๏ธ

by John Canelis, Product Designer

I was the lead designer for the search experience on Adobe Stock, a marketplace for creative assets.

My work included designing new features with our data science team using emerging computer vision technology, which enabled our product to identify objects and visual styles within images. This sparked powerful new ways for users to find the best content for their creative projects.

Almost 8 years later, many of these features continue to live on.

Below are examples of early concepts, which were interactive prototypes built using Framer.

At Adobe I also learned to think of a product as a service. Meaning it can exist outside of the actual website or app and inject itself into other platforms. In this case, a competitor's design tool.

I built an Adobe Stock plugin for Framer to enable searching imagery within the design canvas. This was built using React, TypeScript, and the Adobe Stock API. The plugin continues to be active today. View the source code on GitHub and try a demo.
