Music Bed iOS App 2.0UX Design & UI Design

As part of the now defunct Ten Acre Apps team, a startup founded by Kinetic Technology Group. We were tasked with redesigning and refining the Musicbed app from it's initial 1.0 release. In creating the 2.0 version I lead a majority of the UX and UI design with input from my creative director. The main purpose of the app was to easily find music for creative projects and create wishlist. In creating these wishlist a user would then have a curated selection which would make it easy for them to then licsense once they were able to contact the reps from the Musicbed. The app has since been updated to a newer iteration.
