The Deep Network Designer is a desktop application that allows users to visualize and build deep neural networks. At the time of the beginning of this project, the tool was in a light MVP state to validate business hypotheses and confirm technical feasibility. It was initially released without any GUI features, and was only meant to support work on deeper architectures in the most minimal way, offering only hard coding and command line methods for importing, creating and editing networks.

My job as the designer was to create a robust application which offered users an interactive, visual interface as the primary means to work with their networks.
