Pain & Solution

😰

The Problem

Local Filipino artists have no centralized digital platform for commissioning custom art. The process of finding artists, negotiating, paying, and tracking commissions is fragmented across social media — leading to scams, miscommunication, and lost revenue for artists.

✅

The Solution

TORCH provides a full-featured marketplace where artists showcase portfolios, clients browse and hire them, and the entire commission lifecycle — from request to delivery to payment — is managed within one platform with Xendit payment integration and automated email notifications.
