About
The Thirteen
The Thirteen is a curated visual archive built to collect, organize and revisit references across design disciplines. Every item is intentionally selected, creating a growing library designed for research, inspiration and everyday creative work.
My Purpose
To build a personal archive that evolves over time through careful curation rather than endless saving. Every reference exists for a reason and contributes to my consistent visual library.
Philosophy behind The Thirteen
The Thirteen is built around the idea that meaningful references come from intentional curation. This archive focuses on selecting, organizing and connecting visual material in a way that makes it easier to revisit and draw inspiration from.

Hi, I'm Artur Medeiros
UI Designer passionate about building thoughtful digital experiences, visual systems and curated design resources. The Thirteen is an extension of my creative process and the archive I rely on every day.
The Thirteen began as a personal solution to organize years of collected inspiration into a system that feels intentional, searchable and enjoyable to explore. Today it serves as both my daily design archive and an evolving collection open for anyone looking for thoughtful visual references.
