YouTube Music UI Redesign

When I started this redesign, I wanted to make YouTube Music feel easier to use and more personal. I noticed the current app can feel a little busy, so my goal was to create a cleaner layout that highlights what matters most, finding the right music fast.

I simplified the “Quick Picks” and radio sections to make them more inviting and less overwhelming. Throughout the process, I kept testing different layouts and flows, focusing on how the design could feel intuitive but still engaging.

Overall, this concept is about creating a music experience that feels familiar, but also more enjoyable and user-friendly

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.
