Projects
I was hired by my old colleague and a friend from Output who started his own venture a few years ago called Minimal Audio—a music software company.
I designed and built (Rails & TailwindCSS) the new home page with a focus on highlighting the great plugins they make and the new pricing model called ”All Access“.
Started a small product that allows to capture and organize images with context.
In 2019 I lead the product design of a cloud-based loop synthesizer Output Arcade. It was a big revamp of browsing experience of the plugin, which lead to another significant change—using web tech in local music software.
I was fortunate to work along with Neil Hallimen and Daniel Lepik to bring an amazing granular FX plugin they designed into a digestable UI ready for programming.
