Dec 2021 - Feb 2022
Gemmi is a music app for musicians and music lovers. When the company expanded from a music game app to a platform featuring user-generated content and music battles, I identified a need for greater cohesion in its auditory experience. To address this, I created a UX sound system that enhanced the user experience and maintained consistency across the app’s new features.
