BookBeat is a digital subscription service for audiobooks and e-books. I joined the team to elevate the design of its mobile and tablet apps, focusing on a more polished, consistent experience across iOS and Android.
01. BookBeat app
My work involved refining the UI and UX of the core app, aligning behaviors and visuals across platforms while maintaining a native feel. I also contributed to the tablet experience, adapting layouts and interactions to suit larger screens without losing clarity or simplicity.
02. BookBeat for Kids – Concept App
In parallel, I worked on a concept for a dedicated kids version of the app. Together with a small team, we handled everything from user research to high-fidelity prototypes, developing a new design system tailored specifically for younger users. Although the project was ultimately shelved, it was a valuable exercise in translating core functionality into a more playful and age-appropriate format.
