Approach

As part of this collaborative project, I was heavily involved in the UI of this app, from designing the different pages to prototyping all of the interactions to ensure the app runs smoothly. I focused on designing clear, intuitive interfaces that support social sharing without overwhelming the user. To lower the learning curve, the app intentionally borrows familiar interaction patterns from existing social media platforms such as Instagram nd TikTok, allowing users to immediately understand how to navigate the feed, discover content, and engage with others.

MIXIE's mission is to make music discovery more personal, social, and effortless. Users can connect their music streaming service account to MIXIE and post snippets of songs they enjoy for friends and other listeners to discover, beating the repetitive algorithms of streaming apps and allowing for a more personal connection through music.
