Hi,
I’m Rod, a UX/UI Designer living in Sacramento Cali. I create intuitive, user-focused designs that blend function & creativity.
Designing experiences with style, strategy, & just the right amount of chaos.
Youtube Music Crossfade
This project explores how to enhance the YouTube Music listening experience by introducing a customizable crossfade feature. I designed a seamless settings flow that allows users to toggle the feature on/off, set a precise overlap duration, and choose from presets tailored to different moods or activities. The goal was to create a smooth, intuitive interface that empowers users to personalize their playback experience without disrupting the native feel of the app
Wireframes
This wireframe illustrates the end-to-end user flow for enabling and customizing the crossfade feature within YouTube Music. From navigating settings to selecting fade durations and presets, the design focuses on simplicity, clarity, and seamless integration with the existing app structure. Each screen was thoughtfully crafted to enhance user control while keeping the experience intuitive and aligned with YouTube Music’s native UI.

Project: Bath & Body Works App – Concept Redesign
This redesign focuses on improving accessibility and user experience while staying true to the brand’s identity. I simplified the layout, used high-contrast colors, and chose clear, readable fonts to enhance visual clarity. Key features like mood-based product discovery, scent filters, and streamlined navigation were added to make the app more intuitive and inclusive for all users.
Project: My Journal – Mood-Based Memory App Interface
This concept app blends journaling, mood tracking, and visual storytelling to help users reflect on thoughts and memories in a personal, immersive space. I designed both light and dark modes to support accessibility and comfortable reading in any environment. The clean layout and calming visuals promote mindfulness while keeping navigation simple and intuitive.
