Hello everyone, my name is Stephen Summerlin! Thank you so much for taking an interest in my platform, Aluvean. I want to share a little behind the scenes of myself, my story, and the why of Aluvean itself.
-----------------Behind The Scenes 📽️-----------------
Throughout my life, I've had the blessing of working in a variety of industries, always finding a way to bring in my passion for design and creativity. It has been a love of mine for as long as I can remember, from making Lego movies with a stop motion camera as a child to later in my career becoming a Head of Design at a design agency, it’s a large part of who I am. I’m a creative at heart, and my unconventional way of thinking influences everything in my daily life, from work to relaxation.
I never fully understood why my perspective, thought processes, and work flow seemed so different from the societal “norm” until recently receiving a diagnosis for severe ADHD, which shed so much light on my experiences and why I work and think the way I do.
Understanding this condition has provided much needed clarity on why certain tasks and situations that seem effortless for others have always been so arduous for me. It opened my perspective even further to how vastly different the needs of employees and individuals can be. It also revealed the critical need for bringing more positivity and encouragement into our daily lives and workplaces.
Each person is different, and we should all have the freedom to customize our environment to fit our own individual needs. My desire is to bring together my passion for design and my empathy for people in a way that can help those who may also struggle with focus, relaxing, or being productive, and give them the ability to craft what works best for them.
Thus Aluvean was born.
For the past six months, I have stayed glued to my desk building an application to fill that need. And now I am so excited to introduce Aluvean’s beta to you!
-----------------How Aluvean Helps 🌝-----------------
My goal in creating Aluvean is to give people the resources to craft their experience to what works best for them. I want to provide an environment customized and curated to boost positivity, morale, productivity, and hope. Aluvean marries immersive visuals and interactive effects with positivity and encouragement every time you log in.
-----------------The Aluvean Platform 🖥️-----------------
All Aluvean biomes and designs are completely original creations, from the art to the interactions and animations (lot of photoshop, after effects, audio editing, and coding). Any music used in the biomes is either an original composition or is royalty-free and modified. However, even being royalty-free, I want to ensure the amazing artists get the credit they deserve, so their links are on the website for others to find their work.
-----------------Try It Now đź’»-----------------
I have a free sample ungated (no registration required) for everyone to use! So please feel free to try it for yourself - https://aluvean.com/biome-sample
For access to all 3 free starter biomes, just register and you will immediately gain access. Currently, the only available subscription is free and I have roadmapped the launch of a premium tier which will cost roughly the same as a cup of coffee per month. The goal is people-first, to provide the community with a cinematic, high-quality experience married with positivity, encouragement and dependability. I genuinely want people to enjoy the platform.
If you are interested in partnering or think the platform would help your audience, please reach out! And if you do enjoy Aluvean please be sure to share it with others as we just launched the beta and social media, so every share helps :).
If you made it this far in the post, I cannot tell you how much I appreciate you reading it. Thank you for your support. Whether you wind up using Aluvean or not, I really hope you have an awesome day, and appreciate you taking the time to read this!
