Wondery
Summary
Amazon owned streaming platform that allows users to listen and manage their favorite podcast episodes on their devices. With an user-friendly interface designed to make discovering, subscribing, and listening to podcasts as easy as possible.
I've collaborated on this project with high-fidelity prototypes, implementing new feature solutions for both mobile and web applications, while contributing to build a robust design system, and constantly improving internal design process for product updates.

Challenge
We’ve received consistent user feedback requesting more information about the music featured in our podcast episodes. Listeners are often curious about background tracks, intro/outro music, or any songs referenced or played during the episode. While this is a clear user need, our platform is fundamentally a podcast platform, not a music streaming service—and we want to maintain that focus.
How might we provide users with helpful and accessible information about the music used or mentioned in podcast episodes, without becoming a music platform ourselves?
Outcome
To address user demand for more information about music featured in podcast episodes, we introduced a new tabbed interface on each episode page within our mobile app. One of these tabs—"Music"—now provides a curated list of the songs or tracks used or referenced in the episode.
Users now have a dedicated space to discover and explore the music they hear in episodes without leaving our app ecosystem entirely. The solution reinforces our role as a podcast-first platform while still delivering on a high-value user request.
