Practice that keeps beginners going
A music learning app. I designed lessons, practice sessions and progress tracking, with a difficulty curve built to hold beginners through the first fortnight — where most music apps lose them.
The work
Designed the first session to produce something that sounds like music within five minutes.
Built practice feedback that is specific and kind — 'timing on bar three', not a score.
Designed progress around consistency rather than perfection.
Files were handed over annotated and component-based, with a live walkthrough for the engineering team.

Audio-first learning, on the commute
An audio summaries app for people who want the substance of a long read in the length of a drive. I designed the full listening experience — discovery, player, queue, offline library and the subscription flow behind it.
Property search without the noise
A property marketplace connecting buyers, renters and agents. I designed the search, listing and enquiry experience for buyers, plus the listing-management side agents work in every day.
Group trips that survive the planning
A trip-planning app built around the part that actually breaks: group agreement. I designed shared itineraries, split expenses and a decision flow that stops a trip dying in a group chat.
Tell me what is not working. I will tell you honestly whether design is the right lever and what I would do in the first two weeks.
