ACTIONS I TOOK

I benchmarked leading networking and music apps, analysing their user journey, features, and UI elements.

I then built out the design system using variable colour and sizing tokens for consistency, and used AI tools in Figma to accelerate wireframing and content generation.

Collaboarted closely with the app developer to designed and develop a clean, modern interface with strong brand presence.

THE CHALLENGE

Independent artists often struggle to present themselves professionally and make genuine connections in the industry. The challenge was to design an experience that feels creative and credible while remaining easy to use for users with different tech skill levels. Working solo as the UX/UI designer meant managing everything from research and wireframing to final design and developer handoff. I also had to undergo many UI and design system iterations due dev/technical constraints and new client needs.
