HelloPaint, iScribble + malmal.io 2.0, connects the world's digital artists through a universal drawing platform and the ability to effortlessly collaborate together.
At its heart, HelloPaint is a platform that combines a powerful drawing software with community where digital artists from around the world can create alongside each other simultaneously, drawing on the same canvas.
You can even think of HelloPaint like the “Google-Docs” for artists.
With new features, contests, tools, and tutorials, HelloPaint provides a space to explore digital painting while meeting new friends and building community.
Téa stumbled upon iScribble as a young artist exploring the digital art scene. As a teen, iScribble became her community, where she spent hundreds of hours online learning from other artists and collaborating on artwork. After news of iScribble's closing in 2018 due to outdated tech, she acquired the platform with the mission to bring back collaborative drawing to the online art community she loves so much.
After recruiting a technical cofounder, reviving the community, preserving over 100,000+ digital artworks from as early as 2006, and rebranding iScribble into HelloPaint, the successor of iScribble and malmal, Blumer led a marketing campaign in winter of 2020 to kickstarter HelloPaint.

— Beyond Curie is a design project that highlights badass women in science, technology, engineering + mathematics.
Inspired by and created in partnership with Amanda Phingbodhipakkiya my team at Laber Labs published an augmented reality app bringing the poster series to life for its exhibition at The North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences. By using the Beyond Curie augmented reality app, museum visitors could see beautiful 3-D animations hidden inside some of the portraits.
Our augmented reality animations can be seen using a free mobile app called "Beyond Curie" available on Google Play and the App Store.
To enrich our partnership beyond our augmented reality app, we created an additional series of posters celebrating women in STEM from North Carolina State University. We researched, designed, and iterated upon visual posters embodying the style of Phingbodhipakkiya’s work.
An artistic exploration of the font, Arno Pro, and its type variations
A student-led, annually recurring exhibition at North Carolina State University for the Art + Design graduating class. Through the coursework leading up to the exhibition students analyze the history of their individual processes of ideation and design, examine present expressions of their work and explore possibilities for future implementation.
As class-nominated project manager, Téa organized and managed seven committees responsible for fundraising, marketing, branding, graphic design, exhibition design, photography and publishing. In addition to her leadership as manager, Téa initiated and helped design the Senior Show Catalog-- an unprecedented adjunct project celebrating each of her fellow students work.
