Extras.

Here are a few more things I've worked on over the years that didn't quite make the cut for a full case study.

Internal guidelines for haptic feedback & swipe actions.

During “hack days,” I teamed up with two engineers to review and correct instances of inappropriate haptic feedback usage across the product and implement haptics in several new areas.

Smart Shuffle.

Listeners love creating playlists that reflect key moments in their lives, but over time, these playlists become stale. Smart Shuffle is a play mode that allows listeners to enjoy fresh content, in the form of recommendations, mixed together with original content from the playlist. I took lead on designing the interaction patterns for listener feedback on recommendations, focusing on the ability for listeners to either save recommendations to their playlist or dismiss them.

Quick scroll.

Quick Scroll is designed to help listeners navigate large content collections effortlessly. It’s an advanced adaptation of the traditional alphabetical index scroll, allowing users to scroll both chronologically and alphabetically. I collaborated with my product partner and an iOS engineer during "hack days"—a two-day monthly sprint dedicated to non-prioritized initiatives—to develop and test a proof of concept. This work eventually led to the feature being refined, productionized, and shipped as part of the Your Library redesign.
