Flora

Flora is an AI-powered plant identification app designed to help people discover and recognize the plants around them in their everyday environment. The project explores how technology can encourage curiosity and awareness of the natural world, particularly in urban spaces where plants are often overlooked and reduced to background scenery. Flora shifts the focus from nature as something distant or educational to nature as something present and accessible. By identifying plants people pass every day, the app turns ordinary walks into small moments of discovery and connection. The experience is intentionally simple and visual, allowing users to learn without feeling overwhelmed or required to have prior knowledge. The design emphasizes calmness and approachability, blending soft illustrations, warm colors, and an intuitive interface that fits naturally into daily routines. AI is used as a subtle tool to support discovery rather than dominate the experience, reinforcing the idea that nature is closer than we think. Flora invites users to slow down, look more closely, and reconnect with the living world around them.
