Designing a Content Repurposing App @ Beacons
As many social media platforms begin to adopt the short-form video format, crossposting videos across social media accounts is just another task that content creators have to add to their long to-do list. Beacons is a startup company that develops tools that help content creators to carry out their day-to-day tasks. A content repurposing app that allows users to easily crosspost their videos would be a great addition to Beacons' catalog of apps.See MoreRedesigning Spotify Group Sessions
Remote group session is a fun feature on Spotify that allows users to listen to the same music virtually. This feature provides an easy within-app experience for people who want to listen to music as a group and allows its users to access the player panel and the queue. However, starting remote group sessions can be a difficult task. A restructuring of this feature not only made it easier to use but also revealed Spotify users’ desire for greater social interactivity within the app.See MoreWebsite Redesign @ UCLA Korean Culture Night
