Design Lab

Experiments, redesigns and product explorations.

A space for ideas I wanted to explore beyond client work — the ones that start as an irritation with something I use every day.

None of this was commissioned. Nothing here shipped. What is here instead is the thinking: what I noticed, what I changed, and what I would want to find out before believing any of it.

The experiment

Spotify

What if discovery started with the moment you are in, rather than the catalogue?

Spotify is built around content you already have a name for — a playlist, an album, an artist, something you played last week. This explores a second way in: describe the moment instead, and have a session built around it. An independent exploration, not an official redesign, and nothing here shipped.

Spotify — the subject of this exploration

That is the first one. The Lab is new — experiments land here as I finish them, and each gets the same treatment: what I noticed, what I changed, and what I would want to find out before believing it.

Client work, where the constraints came from somebody else.
