# at a glance
A candy-pop gallery for an AI artist — and an admin panel, so hanging a new piece never means emailing a developer.
# problem
Ayşegül Altınel is a multidisciplinary artist working through AI, design and video — İstanbul rebuilt in pink LEGO, Galata Tower sculpted in modelling clay, brand work under the alias sallyateyou.
The work arrives constantly and in every format: stills, series, video. A hand-built portfolio would have put a developer between her and every new piece.
# approach
Set the work inside a thin-line gallery frame — cream canvas, candy-pink accents — so the loud, playful pieces are the only thing shouting.
Gave her the keys: upload, caption, tag, reorder and publish from an admin panel, backed by Postgres and blob storage, with a committed content snapshot so the public pages still render if the database is unreachable.
Split the work into three walls — branded projects, objects, and sallyateyou — so commissioned work and personal exploration each read on their own terms.
# outcome
Live, and hers to run — she publishes her own work without touching code or waiting on anyone.
