🎛️ TASTY TEST 05/30
No growth insight today. Just playing with mobile app design and making digital music feel a little more physical.
Same music app. Same record. Two ways to explore it.
💿 A PULL ONE OUT
Browse the crate, explore formats, and make the collection part of the interaction.
🟥 B PICK A SIDE
One record takes over the screen. Cleaner, bolder, more graphic.
One direction is about discovery and tactility. The other is about focus and visual impact.
Which direction would you want to play with first?

🎴 TASTY TEST 06/30: Which travel discovery experience would you choose?
Traveling Up is probably my first mobile concept outside client work in almost three years. It was inspired by a trip where not knowing the destination was part of the fun.
Same app. Same destination. Two ways to discover it.
🤍 A Clean Carousel
Calmer, lighter, more familiar.
💚 B Immersive Deck
Bigger imagery, stronger overlap, more tactile navigation.
Which one makes you want to swipe and see where the app takes you next?
A or B? 👇

New cover, new visual taste test.
As a visual director, the hardest choice is choosing between your own creations.
Two covers. Two directions. One choice.

🧠 GROWTH TIP 06/30: DON’T START WITH WHERE. START WITH THE FEELING.
Most travel apps start with one question: “Where do you want to go?”
That works when the user already knows the answer. But a lot of travel discovery starts earlier, with a much less specific thought: I want to go somewhere, I just don’t know where yet.
That idea became Traveling Up, a travel randomizer concept.
Instead of asking users to work through dozens of filters, the product starts with just three signals:
🌍 how much time they have
🎭 how they want the trip to feel
☀️ what kind of climate they prefer
The destination stays a surprise.
Hypothesis: removing destination selection from the first step could move users faster from vague travel intent to genuine interest in one specific trip.
What I would test:
• Destination first search vs Mood first randomizer
• Randomize start rate
• Destination save rate
• Plan this trip CTR
• Time to first interesting destination
💡 Growth insight: in discovery products, uncertainty is not always friction. Sometimes it is exactly what creates curiosity and moves users toward the next action.
This concept came to me after a particularly inspiring trip. And I think it is the first mobile concept I have created purely for myself, rather than for a client project, in roughly three years.
So this one has a little more freedom, art direction, and product experimentation in it.
06/30 complete.
If you enjoy seeing mobile product experiments like this alongside the growth thinking behind them, follow along. And if this direction resonates, a reaction helps me understand which ideas are worth exploring deeper next.
