Splice | Desktop



As Product Design Lead at Splice in 2017, I collaborated with a Product Manager and a UX Designer to redesign Splice Desktop.



We wanted to solve a common user issue – at the time, Splice Desktop was a toolbar app that would hide when focused on another window. Informed by user research, we garnered those producers who wanted to see their DAW (digital audio workstation) as well as Splice Desktop in the position of their choosing. We also learned that this made the musician far more likely to use our drag-n-drop feature when using Splice Sounds.



A year later, we introduced a new icon system as part of our rebrand initiative. With this opportunity for a visual refresh, we also wanted to pay down some tech debt and implement them via SVG for greater visual control on the front end.
