When designing a music app, most teams start with the player screen.

We did too. It's the obvious center of gravity.

But when we worked on this concept, we noticed something. The player was the least interesting design challenge. Every music app has a player. Not every music app knows what you actually listen to.

So we built around the intelligence layer first Sound Intelligence. 18h 42m of listening time. 239 songs played. Peak listening 9 PM–12 AM. Genre distribution mapped across Lo-fi, Pop, R&B, and Others in a horizontal bar system that makes your taste visible at a glance.

The player came second. The library came third. And the AI Discovery panel 24 tracks, 96% match came last, because by the time a user reaches it, the app has already proven it understands them.

What we noticed was that designing analytics before aesthetics made the whole product feel smarter. The visuals followed the data, not the other way around.

Does your music app know you as well as this one does?

Almost two years ago, I started shaping the visual identity of my own studio.

Time flies. Couldn't be happier with what we've built so far, and what's next!

The eye motif carrying through every project instead of just the logo is what makes the studio's own identity actually recognizable, most agencies never bother applying their brand to themselves that consistently.

I'm testing a few new backgrounds for detach, that tell the "screentime" level a bit more clearly. I'm not sure wether to stay with natural sky colors, or go all in with color! Wdyt?
