We present a system designed with the aim to facilitate the social creativity processes underlying creative research. It provides asynchronous and synchronous facilities for multi-user interaction while leveraging creativity with computational tools for inspirational search, inspirational clue generation and problem solving advice. Initial evaluation with a small group of users indicated that the software is in-line with the creative research approach where users work together with concept developers taking on multiple roles throughout the design process.
