Rethinking how people join a queue
BaseQueue started with a simple booking experience, but the more I explored the flow, the more I felt the experience could work differently
I redesigned the journey around the actual queue experience, making it easier to join, understand your position, and know what happens next.
A small suggestion that led to a surprisingly interesting product benefit for users as well as the business

🎛️ GROWTH TIP 08/30: LET USERS ADJUST BEFORE THEY ABANDON.
Someone starts a relaxation session.
The piano feels too loud.
The rain is barely there.
The overall mix doesn’t fit their mood.
That small mismatch creates a product decision: keep listening, search for another session, or leave.
For In your element, we explored a simple way to give users another option: adjust what feels wrong while staying in the player.
🍑 MAKE IT YOURS
The Peach hour player puts 3 independent sound controls directly below playback:
🌧️ Rain
🎹 Piano
🌬️ Air
Users can see the current balance and change each layer without opening a separate settings screen.
The session is ready to start. Personalization is available when the listener has enough context to know what they want to change.
🧠 THE PRODUCT INSIGHT
Some preferences are easier to discover through experience.
Before pressing play, a user may not know how much piano they want. A few seconds into listening, they can make that decision.
That makes the timing of personalization a UX decision:
Start → Experience → Adjust → Continue.
Give users a useful starting point, then put relevant controls where the need appears.
📈 THE GROWTH OPPORTUNITY
An early exit can mean many things. Sometimes the content is wrong. Sometimes one adjustable detail is getting in the way.
This design gives us a specific hypothesis to test: can in-session sound controls help listeners resolve a mismatch and continue?
I’d track early exits, listening time after an adjustment, and session completion against a fixed-mix version.
Slider interactions alone wouldn’t prove success. What happens after the adjustment is what matters.
💡 A useful question for your next mobile app review:
When something feels slightly wrong, can the user fix it without starting over?

Every route has a shape. Most travel brands decorate over it.
For Linea, I built the whole system — ticket, app, uniform, packaging, site — around one rule: trace the actual terrain. Even the logo mark is generated by the same line that draws the mountains.
System, not just style.
