Marketplace Platform Design for Music Studio Booking

A booking platform connecting musicians with studio owners: search, book, and manage studios, with a dashboard for owners to track it all.

Category: Marketplace / Booking Stack: Figma

A shipped, live marketplace where musicians search for and book studio space, and studio owners list one or multiple studios and manage bookings, pricing, and availability. The founder spotted the gap: only one other platform addressed this space, and had real relationships with studio owners to get the supply side moving. This is a shipped product.

Sign-in and profiling, kept lightweight so musicians could browse without logging in until they actually wanted to book.

Search and studio browsing, with filters for location, date, time, and equipment.

Booking and reservation flow, including an availability calendar.

A musician profile area: bookings, wishlist, payments, and the option to list your own studio.

A studio owner dashboard: bookings, earnings, and availability across one or multiple studios in a single view.

The client already had wireframes, a color palette, and a visual identity in place, so I worked within that system rather than starting from scratch, and leaned on proven booking and dashboard UX patterns instead of inventing new ones. I ran 8 qualitative UX testing interviews on the prototype myself, which surfaced clear, repeatable patterns pointing to specific refinements in the booking system. I handed those recommendations to the client, who felt confident enough to move forward with development from there. The product has since shipped and is live.
