UNTRUE — An interactive chord explorer inspired by Burial's album Untrue (2007).
Using Mobbin, I studied how music apps handle chord exploration and sound interaction. Two apps shaped the direction:
• Demo — for its intuitive chord selection and circular UI patterns
• Endel — for its dark, spatial, monochrome aesthetic
I combined Demo's interaction model with Endel's visual language, themed around the harmonic palette of Burial's Untrue — every chord from every track on the album, playable in your browser.
What you can do:
• Explore chords across 9 album tracks
• Tap to hear each chord with different synth presets
• Build and play your own chord progressions
Process: Mobbin research → Figma → Claude Code → test → back to Figma → rebuild. Each iteration brought it closer to a dark, tactile instrument.
Built with React + Tone.js + Tailwind CSS. Deployed on Vercel.

Wonder -- Visual Expressions
The restraint in the warm palette really lets the sound-object concept breathe—especially that shift from readable type to atmosphere.
A look at the identity we designed for Vetti, a dog health monitoring brand.
There’s a lot of data behind a product like this but the person using it just wants to know their dog is okay.
That’s the balance in the design with a connected dot system that feels precise and warm colors and photography that keep it close to what people care about.
Also, an excellent excuse to spend far too long choosing dog photos.
