Spotify Feature Redesign

I decided to redesign a feature of the Spotify app which I believe could use further development. I was interested in better understanding a program that I use on a daily basis, and a mode of listening to music which is very influential in shaping the music industry today.

Through careful analysis and firsthand experience, I believe that a prominent way for Spotify to maintain its edge over other music sharing platforms would be for the messaging component to be improved. I began by mapping and creating wireframes of the existing app in Illustrator, and then moved into creating a prototype of how the app’s messaging component might be re-envisioned.
