Your Groove
Your listening habits
Your next discovery
Turning listening patterns into personal music discovery. I led the end-to-end design direction for Your Groove, connecting recommendation logic to playlists people could explore and play.
01 / At a glance
Make recommendations feel personal
A recommendation system needs an experience that helps people recognize something worth listening to.
Connect the logic to the experience
I shaped the discovery interface through research, competitive analysis, prototypes and final design, working with engineering across platforms.
Playlists built around the listener
Your Groove used listening patterns to create personalized playlists across Windows 10, iOS, Android and Xbox.
02 / The experience
Something familiar
Something to discover
Follow a personalized recommendation into the artists and tracks behind it.
- 01 / 03 Discover
Give the recommendation an identity
The recommended surface presents playlists with distinct artwork and names, giving the listener a way into the selection.
Personalized playlists are introduced on the recommended surface. - 02 / 03 Explore
Meet the artists inside
A playlist opens into its featured artists and tracks, connecting the recommendation to the music it contains.
The playlist detail view introduces its featured artists. - 03 / 03 Play
Make the music easy to reach
A clear track list and persistent playback controls let the listener move from discovery into listening.
The playlist continues into a browsable track list.
03 / Design & leadership
Behind a playlist,
a design system of choices
The work connected recommendation behavior, content structure and the final listening experience.
Make room for different kinds of discovery
I shaped an interface that could bring together editorial playlists, generated recommendations and selections based on a listener’s own music.
Give recommendation logic a visible form
The design explorations mapped sources, context and freshness into a structure the product could present to listeners.
Carry the experience across platforms
I worked with engineering to implement the design across Windows 10, mobile and Xbox, from prototypes through final deliverables.
