Users needed a way to experience music as something emotional and intentional, not just functional. The goal was to merge minimal design with expressive visuals — balancing discovery, nostalgia, and flow.
Ideate
Refined the playback bar and control icons for higher clarity. Simplified the mood tagging process and added a quick-tap feature for instant playlist creation. Adjusted visual hierarchy to guide focus naturally.
Prototype
Built high-fidelity mobile and desktop mockups showcasing key flows such as mood-based browsing, adaptive equalizer visuals, and playlist personalization. Integrated micro-interactions for smooth navigation and sensory appeal.
Test
Conducted usability tests with 8 participants across different listening habits. Feedback praised the minimalist aesthetic and intuitive mood filters. Users requested clearer playback controls and quicker access to favorites.
Iterate
Refined the playback bar and control icons for higher clarity. Simplified the mood tagging process and added a quick-tap feature for instant playlist creation. Adjusted visual hierarchy to guide focus naturally.
Launch
Presented as an interactive prototype highlighting mood-driven discovery and seamless user flow. Featured in portfolio and UX presentations as a study in emotional design and sensory balance.
Evaluate
Post-launch reflections focused on improving accessibility and adding smart recommendations without compromising emotional intent. Future goals include adaptive audio cues and a companion widget for daily mood-based listening.
